I'm not 100% clear on what you're trying to avoid from GNU Screen, but my first thought when you said you wanted persistent sessions without GNU Screen was "tmux". Count mine as a third vote for tmux, if that suits your needs. Depending on your actual needs, you could also look into using the nohup command. It's not a terminal multiplexer but, in the words of the manpage, it allows you to "run a command immune to hangups, with output to a non-tty". --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --sdtB3X0nJg68CQEu Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk2U1sEACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKXZpgCeLQ2mLm5OxZcKfNC+FQBb/3b0 JNkAn11voDBGs9DWjbtCwRT6EEk4bvmR =0Boz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --sdtB3X0nJg68CQEu--
