This included using packages such as dired for file +management, magit for git and proced for processes. However I always +kept a terminal around for running shell commands. These were +commands that I knew would either, take a long time to run, produce a +lot of rapid text output or that I would run on a remote machine. In +the remote case I would rely on tmux to be able to detach and let the +command run even when I wasn't connected. + +To rid me of the need for the terminal emulator in these situations I +developed the detached.el package. It is a package that builds on top +of the dtach program, which provides the ability to detach and +re-attach to processes, to offload Emacs from these processes. The +package seamlessly integrates the ability to detach and attach into +Emacs, and offers integration with many built in features such as +shell, eshell, compile, org and dired. + +In this talk I will demonstrate the features of this alternative way +to run detached processes and how the package can leverage built in +Emacs functionality to provide a great experience. The user interface +will be showcased and how the processes essentially becomes text, +which fits very well into Emacs. + + + +[[!inline pages="internal(2022/info/detached-after)" raw="yes"]] + +[[!inline pages="internal(2022/info/detached-nav)" raw="yes"]] + + -- cgit v1.2.3
