Hi,
i've been saving time+frustration for having had this, but i'm not proposing
anything, i'm aware how this what most likely exists only because of how badly
scripts stick w/me across reinstalls/need of backups, compared to anything i
push into my /usr/src.
for the example below i used boardnames, while i usually use the active branch
name/window group it's on, so this can help locating them too xD
imagine making any use of the list below w/o "-t tag2remind" when in hurry to
check what you've got connected/powered on, i think i've never chosen the right
cu process to kill if i've lost an xterm/tmux and started guessing one by one..
those cuaU*s are all usb adapters behind a couple of uhub*s, so they keep
changing portnumbers almost once a week or so, reboot or accidentally
unplugged uhub etc..
$ pgrep -fl cu
6558 cu -l cuaU4 -t Cubie2

Sry for noise:)
