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

 

Came across a tmux YouTube video that is useful too. Folks wanting to learn something new for 2024

Most advanced why would be learning Ansible and setting it up on all servers.

Or the way I do it is via my SSH client = SecureCRT https://community.centminmod.com/threads/how-do-you-manage-multiple-servers.16247/#post-69426 On my Dell 2723QE 4K monitor, I can easily send a single command to 20-40 servers at a time per SSH session group window that is tiled And as Centmin Mod default command prompt includes the server hostname in it, it's still easy to tell which window belongs to which server

SecureCRT SSH client saves me time managing servers https://community.centminmod.com/th...load-nginx-php-upgrade-logs.19868/#post-84339 and https://community.centminmod.com/th...client-apps-do-you-use.390/page-10#post-90843
