Ask HN: Good alternatives to screen/tmux to persist long term jobs?
- mattkrea 10y agoEither write programs that daemonize themselves or write upstart/systemd services
- stephenr 10y agoIf it's a one off isn't this exactly what nohup is designed for?
- aashidham0 10y agoThis isn't a one-off; I want a simple solution that requires as little setup as possible. I also want infinite buffer space to store the stdout and stderr of processes, which neither screen nor tmux provide (both require you to preallocate buffer space).
- stephenr 10y agoOh. Well if it's a daemon type tool, write an init file - either a shell script for sysvinit or a service file for systemd.

- 0942v8653 10y agoI can't remember if it has the buffer space you want, but take a look at dtach. https://github.com/djpohly/dtach/blob/master/README https://github.com/djpohly/dtach/blob/master/README
- 0942v8653 10y agoNevermind, it looks like it doesn't have any buffer space.
