I have gone over to tmux for > a year now. I have 9 pages, some split. I access my mail and webserver box remotely in a tmux session with pages open to 3 other boxes. I upgraded boxes some years ago and left my web server and mail on the original box. I read my mail via ssh'ing to a tmux session running on the original box. This way I can access the tmux session remotely from anywhere on anyone's box, including windoz running vnc from a usb stick. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net
