Tmux is very handy when working with linux
You can create session disconnect from server and then reconnect to this same session
To easier manage session I wrote simple script which display list of available sesssions
#!/bin/bash
# Function to display sessions and handle selectionselect_tmux_session() { # Get list of tmux sessions and sort alphabetically sessions=$(tmux ls 2>/dev/null | cut -d: -f1 | sort) # Check if tmux is running and has sessions if [ $? -ne 0 ] || [ -z "$sessions" ]; then echo "No tmux sessions found or tmux server not running." echo "0 - Create new session" read -p "Enter your choice: " choice if [ "$choice" = "0" ]; then read -p "Enter new session name: " session_name if [ -n "$session_name" ]; then tmux new-session -s "$session_name" else echo "Session name cannot be empty." fi fi return fi # Display available sessions echo "Available tmux sessions:" echo "=======================" # Convert sessions to array and display with numbers session_array=() counter=1 while IFS= read -r session; do echo "$counter - $session" session_array+=("$session") ((counter++)) done <<< "$sessions" echo "0 - Create new session" echo "=======================" # Get user selection read -p "Enter your choice (0-$((counter-1))): " choice # Validate input if ! [[ "$choice" =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]]; then echo "Invalid input. Please enter a number." return 1 fi # Handle selection if [ "$choice" = "0" ]; then # Create new session read -p "Enter new session name: " session_name if [ -n "$session_name" ]; then tmux new-session -s "$session_name" else echo "Session name cannot be empty." fi elif [ "$choice" -ge 1 ] && [ "$choice" -le "${#session_array[@]}" ]; then # Attach to selected session selected_session="${session_array[$((choice-1))]}" echo "Attaching to session: $selected_session" tmux attach -t "$selected_session" else echo "Invalid choice. Please select a number between 0 and $((counter-1))." return 1 fi}
# Run the functionselect_tmux_session
