the village buzz

i picked this up the other day…

what it allows you to do is start up a terminal screen, detach from it, and attach later from somewhere else..

this work really well for me..

what i need to do alot of times is start up a job that might take FOREVER… say, rsync - ing one server to another. alot of times, i am on my powerbook, and this would mean i would have to leave it open, and hope that nothing goes wonky with the network or my machine doesn’t power done (or run out of batteries, if i am running on battery power..)

this way, i can start the process..

log back in later, and check on it..

for the tech dorks out there, this is a terminal multiplexor.. very cool..

old school rocks…
