Sequential and parallel execution of long-running shell commands

I usually just need to run one big interactive job on a server, in which case I just do

tmux my-command Ctrl-b d (detach) logout, go to bed, sleep, whatever log back into the server, tmux attach

Would there be an advantage to using this over that?

Probably not in practice. You do save that ctrl-b keypress tho.

Ampersand also works, no tmux needed

Does it? I must have always configured differently but sighup. Usually have to disown preventing sighup!

Nope. Pueue is designed to handle your usecase times 5+.

I'm still using it for your usecase, as I'm already used to the interface by now :D.

Your usecase reminds me of GNU screen

They're both terminal multiplexers. In my experience tmux is a much better experience though
