tmux

Tmux is an excellent terminal reuse software, similar to GNU Screen, but comes from OpenBSD and is licensed by BSD.

Supplementary instructions

The most intuitive benefit of using it is that after logging in to the remote host through a terminal and running tmux, you can open multiple consoles without "wasting" extra terminals to connect to the remote host;

Function

Install

# In Mac OS, install via brew
brew install tmux
# Direct apt-get installation under ubuntu version
sudo apt-get install tmux
# Install directly with yum under centos7 version
yum install -y tmux

# centos6 version needs to be compiled and installed
yum install libevent libevent-devel ncurses-devel
tar -zvxf tmux-2.3.tar.gz # (Download in advance: wget https://github.com/tmux/tmux/releases/download/2.3/tmux-2.3.tar.gz)
cd tmux-2.3
./configure
make && make install
