Is there a way to combine screen/tmux with ssh ? like i always need to do some long running tasks over ssh and forget to put it in a screen session, i would like to open each ssh session in a screen session so that when i connect next i should be able to proceed from where i left
Not a gerat solution, but if you did launch something in bash, and you don't care about STDOUT/ERR (or you're directing to a file), you can run "disown %1" to detach it from your shell after you've launched it. The program will continue to run until it finishes naturally (or it's killed)
You can't reattach the program, but there's other ways to auto-launch screen if you're often doing that.
Yes, but this has nothing to do with SSH. You essentially suspend the process, background it, detach it from the parent shell, launch screen/tmux, and re-parent it. Here's a tutorial - http://monkeypatch.me/blog/move-a-running-process-to-a-new-s.... If you ALWAYS want SSH to open in a screen/tmux session, you can probably just alias it on your local system to do so.
screen/tmux persist when you log out. Let's say you have 10 shells open to a remote server in screen session and you reboot you client computer. If you ssh back into the remote and run screen...pow, you have your 10 shells back.
