You can basically "tmux attach" into your session anytime. It also provides bhyve_guest for a clean shutdown of FreeBSD guests (a workaround until bhyve can inject the necessary acpi instructions to trigger a shutdown). I've been using it for half a year now and it gets the job done. You can find it here http://druidbsd.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/druidbsd/bhyve_rc/ Please share your experience with the changes in r258668, quite interested if this works ok for you. -- Michael Gmelin
