I upgraded the distro on my BBS machine and discovered a new program. I've
used the screen command on occation but I had never looked at Byobu before,
and it's just what I've been needing!
If you are not familiar with it, you might want to check it out. Like
screen it lets you run programs in the background and switch between them.
But it does a whole lot more..it has menu driven instructions and
configuration (somewhat) and several really cool plugins to monitor your
system... I was looking for a way to reliably run a couple of dosemu
sessions in the background and switch between them. Byobu lets me log out
and reconnect to the same "windows" at a later time. .. I work from a remote
using a terminal and my wireless connection stinks and I get disconnected
sometimes...this is perfect!!
I was impressed so I had to share..
Enjoy!
