  • @muru the accepted answer there does not seem to address my use-case (especially for reconnecting or for viewing same console output from different computers). Also, from the little I know, tmux seems to be the most popular tool but it receives little attention at that question. Finally, I am requesting a few simple steps to accomplish a specific task which is different from that question. Commented Oct 1, 2018 at 3:07
  • XY problem. Note both OP there and you want to keep some program running and then later check the progress. The second answer there has "a few simple steps" to accomplish this specific task with screen. And another answer covers the difference for tmux. (The steps are same for screen and tmux, only the specific options and keybindings differ) Commented Oct 1, 2018 at 3:10
  • @muru I posted a simple answer. It wasn't as hard as I anticipated. If you still think this question doesn't belong, let me know and I'll delete it. Commented Oct 1, 2018 at 3:22
