![]() ![]() ![]() On the server, users could follow certain conventions or rules to manage Tmux. The hierarchy is that Tmux could have multiple sessions, a session could have multiple windows, a window could have multiple panes. In this short tutorial, I am going through some of the basic concepts and commands for Tmux, and how to use a Tmux plugin, which is called Tmux Resurrect, to restore Tmux environment after reboot or Tmux server restart. However, Tmux does not memorize user settings such as pane layouts, so every time after reboot or restart the Tmux server, all of the user settings will be gone. Although Tmux is much useful than a terminal emulator such as Gnome Terminator, many users would just like to use Tmux as a multi-window terminal emulator. However, Tmux is not very friendly to beginners because you would have to memorize a series of commands required for controlling Tmux. The user would be able to control multiple tasks in multiple windows via Tmux. ![]() Tmux allows the user to create multiple sessions and each session could have multiple terminals. Sometimes it is also hard to find which window is doing which task if there are too many windows opened. This is good for monitoring all the tasks, but the shortcoming is that you would have to type your SSH login information for each of the windows you opened. We could also open multiple windows, SSH into the remote server for each window, and run one task for each window. ![]() This is problematic if you want to monitor the process of each task. We could SSH into the remote server and run everything in the background with an ‘&’ at the end of each terminal command. If we want to do multiple tasks simultaneously on the remote server, usually we have two ways to do it. Not much to dislike there.Tmux is a very powerful terminal multiplexer which is extremely useful especially when you are using the remote server via SSH. You get your basic unix stuff that works well enough, you get direct NTFS filesystem access, and all the programs are native windows executables. MSYS2 on the other hand has been nothing but solid gold since i started using it 5 years ago. Just try getting something basic working like bridged networking, so you can run services on your WSL2's Ubuntu without dealing with the NAT stuff. Anyway, WSL2 is insanely immature compared to, say. It's waaay too heavily embedded into the operating system, but I don't know very much about the details. I definitely don't think wsl2 is a step back from wsl1 like some people think, however, I'd trust most other hypervisors before MS Hyper-V. Shortly after setting up WSL2 my system became pretty flaky. OP stated in another comment (which y'all downvoted :facepalm:) "prefer to run the things i want in tmux as native applications and not linux due to speed" If you describe what you're trying to do in greater detail, someone might be able to point you in the right direction as far as how to optimize a specific workflow. But I think what you're looking for might not actually have much of a use case for most people in windows, even people with a really high level of technical skill. I might be over explaining this a little bit. The program will then be controlled using a GUI or CLI frontend as needed. A lot of programs that people use in enterprise environments, or certain specific programs people run at home on windows like media streaming servers for example, will run headlessly as a service as their primary mode of operation. But the "native" way to run a program headlessly in windows is to run it as a service. There aren't a ton of interactive CLI apps like that out there that run natively on windows so it's possible no one ever thought to write something like that. Tmux in Linux is a program that only does this for CLI apps. I see you specifically asked about running things in the background. ![]()
