Starting to like tmux more than screen - works a bit better with my SecureCRT SSH client than screen (the backspace key maps to deleting entire line for me in screen sessions).

Here I have tmux vertical split window with right window split again horizontally as tmux session name = s1. Where left window is show real time mysql process/queries, top right top output and bottom right show sar reported cpu load average over 1, 5 and 15min intervals.

best part is if i exit SSH, i can come back to this exact configured window setup just attaching the tmux session named = s1 again



Playing with webpagetests.org's API for scripted page speed analysis tests - left window for running my wpt.sh script, top right for editing wpt.sh, and bottom right for generated log files

 

seems only thing i haven't figured out with tmux is the scrollback buffer size

ah

After increasing the scrollback buffer for tmux, the past 24hrs has been awesome and refreshing using tmux instead of screen ! Loving tmux

 

Yum install should be fine

 

FYI, there's a web browser gui tmux pane/window generator tool too Cockpit
