Imagine you're at work, and you have tmux running with 15 sessions to various machines. You go home, connect to that tmux session and you can keep working without having to re-connect/SSH and log into 15 machines and just continue where you left off.

It's sort of like being able to RDP into the machine you were working on except it's text-based.

So something like abduco (https://www.brain-dump.org/projects/abduco/) should do the job too? I think GP's comment was more concerened with the terminal multiplexing, not the ability to detach a session.

abduco claims to be a tmux alternative, which there are probably a few - I don't think any of these points being made are attempting to claim tmux is the only tool with these features, only that the features are very useful - tmux just happens to be one of the most popular tools in this category of tools

I see, thanks! This sort of use case would be rare for me, but when I've needed to manage sessions I've used screen. I can see how tmux would be valuable for managing more complicated groups of sessions like you describe.
