Marcin, what are > your thoughts? With screen you can easily attach and detach from the session and continue it being connected remotely so it is easy to start some task in the terminal window on my machine and the continue when I am away. Screen can give you the same "tabs" though presented as a list (Ctrl+A + ") and you can name them too. Switching is easy using (Ctrl+A + n) so you can go directly from window 2 to window 5 :-) -- Marcin Floryan http://marcin.floryan.pl/ Please consider the environment before printing this email. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
