|  | === Description | 
|  |  | 
|  | The `attach` subcommand attaches to subcommands that were started using | 
|  | the `asadmin` utility option `--detach` or that contain progress | 
|  | information. The `--detach` option detaches long-running subcommands and | 
|  | executes them in the background in detach mode. | 
|  |  | 
|  | Job IDs are assigned to the subcommands (jobs), and can be used to view | 
|  | the status of a job and its output. Use the | 
|  | link:list-jobs.html#list-jobs-1[`list-jobs`(1)] subcommand to view the | 
|  | jobs and their job IDs, and the | 
|  | link:configure-managed-jobs.html#configure-managed-jobs-1[`configure-managed-jobs`(1)] | 
|  | subcommand to configure how long information about the jobs is kept. | 
|  |  | 
|  | This subcommand is supported in remote mode only. |
