I will try that one, when I figure out how to configure it. > - rxvt-unicode - uberterminal > - this thing can operate as normal xterm-like term (process per session), > or as daemon, when single process hosts all your terminals > - benefits are increased new terminal startup speed (on my current box, > this is subsecond delay - helps when you treat terms as disposable > "surfaces"), and supposedly memory conservation, as lots of data is > shared > between the windows I was always using rxvt, and now not any more. Just xterm. It is bound to keys alt-ctrl-t and it quickly jumps up in front of me (maybe because other terms are already running). And I like the loggin feature, SVG screen dump and HTML dump.

I have put in .bashrc: # Logging of .bashrc opening # file: terminalsopened.log is: chattr +a echo Terminal: `/bin/date +'%F-%T'` >> /home/data1/protected/tmp/terminalsopened.log 2> /dev/null So that I get a lot of how many times I open a terminal. Since 2016-01-03, until today, 18,979 times, or some 1700+ times per month, or 56 - 60 times per day. Jean Louis
