tmux
is a very useful Linux command line tool. It allows you to create command line session that is persistent; meaning you can close the window and re-open it later and it remains in the same state. This allows you to do things such as start a long data compression operation from home then log out again, leaving the compression still running. tmux
is therefore safe to use if you have a flaky network connection. You can also connect to existing tmux
sessions. So if you start an operation locally on a PC, you can go home and re-connect to the same window. There is a tmux tutorial here Below are details on some common operations that might be useful in the context of StitchIt.syncAndCrunch
