Project: Building An All-Text Linux Workstation - Part 14
|
|
In this, our final instalment, we will look at the screen terminal multiplexing program. What the heck is a "terminal multiplexing program?" I'm glad you asked. Now that we have installed a bunch of interactive applications on our workstations and SSH to allow remote access, we have a slight problem. Is it reasonable for an interactive program (like mutt) monopolize our terminal session? Isn't Linux multi-tasking? On the graphical desktop, we can have many applications running at once and, by moving the mouse, we can switch from application to application. Of course, on the console, we can switch virtual terminals to provide multiple sessions and if we are using SSH, remotely accessing our workstation from a graphical desktop, we can open multiple terminal windows.
