Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : abduco Version : 0.6 Upstream Author : Marc André Tanner <m...@brain-dump.org> * URL : http://www.brain-dump.org/projects/abduco/ * License : ISC Programming Lang: C Description : lightweight session manager with {de,at}tach support
abduco provides session management i.e. it allows programs to be run independently from its controlling terminal. That is programs can be detached - run in the background - and then later reattached. Together with dvtm it provides a simpler and cleaner alternative to tmux or screen. This package was included in Debian for a short while but was removed due to the Debian package maintainer being inactive. abduco has a number of advantagers over dtach that are described in the homepage and is significantly more maintained. dvtm, a package by the same developer, is intended to be paired with abduco for many use cases and already exists within Debian.
