There are many separate session persistence daemons: dtach, zmx, hauntty, shpool, diss, abduco - take your pick

screen's another nice one. been using it for 25 years, so far so good

  • I used screen until like 2010 or so -- but you triggered me to look back at it again today. One nicety there now is that you can easily get a dump of what's showing in the pty with screen -S <session_name> -X hardcopy. This is actually somewhat hard to do in tmux, but it's a thing you want your AI agents to do all the time. I'm curious if claude / codex are comfortable with screen, I'll check it out.
