Imagine you want to launch 1000 long standing processes as oneshots.
Nohup to a file would be a better usage than a screen multiplixier
Why:
- Because you can do a for loop over the nohup files to grep status and collate stats for the 1000 processes.
- Because tmux/screen is easy to mentally manage but near impossible to navigate in list view or other
"But you can extract a snapshot of your 1000 tmux windows to file and grep that for status!"
Yes, great, but it's not a neat solution, and tmux/screen snapshots might not capture everything due to window rendering artefacts.
