Tmux is one of the tools I really like to install as soon as possible. It provides the possibility of loosing your connection whitout loosing all your sessions,
If you start tmux, it starts a “virtual” terminal. If you loose your connection to the machine, the vitual terminal keeps running. As soon as you can reconnect you can re-attach to the virtual terminal.
Tmux is available in major distributions, or at github.
Key commands:
- Inside tmux
- Ctrl – b c : new virtual teminal in the tmux session
- Ctrl – b d : detach from the tmux session
- Ctrl – b p : previous window in the tmux session
- Ctrl – b n : next window in the tmux session
- Ctrl – b ” : Split the current window vertically
- Ctrl – b % : Split the current window horizontally
- Outside tmux
- list-sessions : displays the tmux sessions on the box
- attach : attach to a session on the box
- -t <n> : attach to session with number n
