Sounds like a job for GNU Screen
(http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/screen.html).

With screen, you would start your "long process" inside a screen session
on machine2.  Then when you are sitting at machine1, you could ssh into
machine2, and connect to your running screen session, and like magic,
the output of your "long process" would be available just like you were
sitting at machine2.
