<div dir="ltr">DJ, <div><br></div><div> I can understand your arguments. For local terminals I agree a tabbed/pane terminal emulator such as "Terminator" is the way to go. For remote persistent connections tmux is great. It's like having those tabs and panes on a remote device that you can disconnect or re-connect to without having to log in multiple times....its just always there. One pane for working on a file, another for restarting the process, another for watching logs, another for something else.</div><div><br></div><div>My primary use case is connecting to irc, watching various logs, and access to work's text email.

screen or tmux, but I just don't see the point.<br>
* My connections are solid, disconnects just don't happen.<br>
* I know how to use 'tee' so monitoring running jobs from anywhere isn't hard.<br>
* My desktop can be accessed from anywhere in the world, so anything running<br>
there will be seen as it progresses (GUI stuff).<br>
* I know how to use batch processing (TaskSpooler) and 'at' for long running<br>
tasks that need to be queued.<br>
* screen layouts are handled by normal X/Windows resources and WM settings.<br>
Hadar xterms open upper left. Romulus xterms open lower right. ... have settings<br>
for those things for decades.<br>

I've got to be missing something that tmux does. Right? Please convert me.<br>
<br>
I learn best by seeing - is there a great youtube video showing off tmux that I<br>
should watch?<br>
