Introduction
Generally, when operating a remote Linux host, we usually use SSH connection to operate. However, if we encounter a situation where we need to execute an uninterrupted command but have to interrupt the SSH connection, normally we would pull that Process to the background or use the window management tool screen. tmux is another very powerful window management tool that can simulate window operations in the terminal, including window switching, window splitting, etc. The following lists some commonly used commands for tmux.
