He's never used screen before, therefore he has no reason not to use tmux.

tmux is better that screen in a variety of ways. Many of those ways are
minor, however all together and in total they're significant enough. You
may want to stay with screen if you have a highly-customised .screenrc and
use many other machines on which you're unable to install tmux, but screen
should not be recommended over tmux without a very good reason.
Stroller.
please elaborate

[gentoo-user] How can I move running proces to background out of screen?
Hi, is there any way to move running (already started) process to background, and disconnect it from screen/terminal so that I could log off (without terminating the process)? Sometimes I start updating my server, but it keeps running for long time, and I would like to log out but I can not. I know, I could have started it with: nohup emerge -uv gcc But I forgot to do it that way, and now I'm sitting, watching messages scrolling in my shell. So is there any way to do this nohup-trick on running process? Jarry -- ___ This mailbox accepts e-mails only from selected mailing-lists!

I didn't realize there was no release tagged. I'll ask the author if he would tag a version epsilon0 so that it's easier to keyword.
