Now this is a perfect example why I
love this forum from time to time
I personally don't go for cool (not at all) especially when we're talking servers. Then functionality takes priority over everything else. But you know how that goes; this also sometimes leads to tunnel vision (sort off). I use
sysutils/screen because it works for me so I never looked back (or around).
But that's not saying it's perfect. As
@kpa stated; the suid part of
screen is an annoying one. One of those "flaws" you take for granted but you don't like it. Another issue, but I haven't quite figured out if this is because of the way I use it or a flaw in the software itself; I sometimes have issues where one of the screens stalls, and nothing I do can bring it back to live.
Thanks for the tip
@wblock@ and @wpa, I'm going to dive into this one (building while I write..). To make it easier on others following the thread,
here you can find the official Sourceforge page for
tmux and as a bonus; if you're like me you'll now be wondering what the advantages of one over the other could be, I found a very good thread (in my opinion) about this on Stack Exchange
right here.
Now, let's not hijack the tread and force it right back to where we were..
Stuff like this intrigues me, especially because I've already noticed quite some differences when comparing my FreeBSD experiences to my (dated) Solaris experiences (for me FreeBSD is a Solaris "replacement").
Many posts on many websites seem to share my idea that you can't simply redirect the output of a background process because it is determined during launch time. And then I came across an
IO Redirection thread, also on Stack Exchange. I think it could help you out
