    What can tmux do that you can’t do using startup and exiting scripts?

      Retain sessions when you’re over SSH and get disconnected.

      I’m surprised this wasn’t mentioned, since it’s my only use case for tmux.

        I should’ve just looked it up but got lazy to be honest.

        I use Dreamhost to connect to IRC support channels using irssi. I go through Dreamhost since it hides my home IP address. It disconnects me frequently. This would be very useful.

        Thank you for the info.
