Hey Paulie,
pa> I do not use screen/tmux... I've used it a time or two that I needed to do
something special with irssi (put handles on the left side
pa> of screen..) but I don't understand/know what its uses ARE.
The main reason I started using it is for disconnected sessions.
I can jump into a box, do some work, disconnect, comeback later, re-connect and
see what happened.
In the old modem dialup internet days (or iffy internet connections), this was a
saviour.
These days, I work at my desk on an iMac, or sit in front of the TV with a MacBo
ok - and I can "switch" to either and continue where I left off.
The other benefit, especially when developing, one window "pane" is the tail of
a debug log file, while another is an interface into the DB and the 3rd where I'
m watching incoming HTTP requests. I can zoom into any pane to see more content,
or have all 3 on the screen at once while I'm trying to figure out why an API c
all is failing.
