Reconnect to session after killing client

[tsoernes]

Is this possible?
Say that you kill an et session on the client side. Can you reconnect to the same 'session' on the server?

[MisterTea]

No this isn't possible, but you can use tmux or screen to detach your session from et.

[tsoernes]

Can I make a feature request for that? tmux and screen are inconvenient wrt. scrolling etc

[MisterTea]

Use tmux control center (OSX) or HTM (other OSes) to get native scroll back.

Making the et client survive being killed would be very difficult.

I'd also like the ability to reconnect to a session. My client machine ran out of battery, and now I have an orphan "session" on the remote server.

[MisterTea]

@dandv you can pass the "-x" switch to have et kill all other sessions by the same user before starting a new connection, or you can kill the orphan session manually.

It would be a huge amount of work to make et survive client app failure in a way that didn't compromise security.

I just wanted to share that I also ran into this issue. I suggest that, at a minimum, the manual indicates that it's not possible to reconnect to a server if the client has died. But ideally this really should be possible.
