What is the command?

someone_4 — Mon, 14 Aug 2006 10:23:11 GMT

Good morning ..

A while back I saw a command that allowed you to open different shell / telnet / sessions and you could go back and fouth between sessions by using different key strokes or key combos.

I am pretty sure this was in HPUX .. but I could be wrong. It is just bothering me because I cant remember the command.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Richard

If your are using a HP terminal emulation, this could be the "Terminal Session Manager".

see "man tsm".

To toggle the different sessions, use CTRL W, for the menu use CTRL T

tsm is one possibility (man tsm for details); another is screen available from:

Sounds to me like screen.

Just a follow up to Clay's response -- the porting archive's bundle of screen doesn't use the HP-UX terminfo database, which I found to be very annoying. If you are running pa-risc 2 I'd recommend using Merijn's build from here:
