Sure, I live in Emacs and use M-x term for all of my shell work. I also have helm-mode hooked up to our server database (which is also our Puppet ENC). So to start a SSH session to a host OR switch to the already-open buffer for that host, I push the magic helm key (C-^ for me) and start typing the name of a host. helm-mode knows about buffers and the ENC and offers completions. I pick the appropriate buffer or hostname and off I go. My init on the remote servers starts screen or attaches to an existing screen session. I'm behind the times and haven't switched to tmux :) Once upon a time I used Tramp inside of Emacs and a special Bash prompt to make it easy edit files on the remote hosts. But I never worked out every last kink so I no longer do this. Plus these days we use Puppet so much that I'm not often editing files on remote systems. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
