I’ve been playing with an idea that would involve running a machine over a delay-tolerant mesh network. The thing is, each packet is precious and needs to be pretty much self contained in that situation, while modern systems assume SSH-like continuous interaction with the user.

Has anyone heard of anything pre-existing that would work here? I figured if anyone would know about situations where each character is expensive, it would be you folks.

    No, tmux does not redirect to a file. Though ‘>’ and ‘script’ do.

    Tmux is like ‘screen’ and can be wrapped with ‘byobu’.

      I mean, I guess you could just programmatically insert a > after every command. That’s actually a pretty good idea. It’s kind of obvious now that you mention it, haha!

      It would be better if the tools expected to be used this way, but as a quick kludge for a project about something else it’s probably sufficient.
