Abstract

In this chapter, we’ll be looking at Tmux, short for terminal multiplexer – a utility which is primarily used for managing backgrounded processes, but also has many other uses. In addition to keeping processes running, Tmux can also be used for dividing your terminal into smaller screens, creating a customized layout where you can monitor several panes at once.
