On: Mosh: A replacement for SSH

"I wish I had started this process in a screen session" problem

Why is everyone here assuming all programs can be run in a screen session? I run emacs over X11 through a tunnel. This is far superior to emacs in a screen session.

Because that's what mosh is designed for. Graphical programs are off-topic.

By the way, we have used xpra ("screen for X") with success in the past: https://www.xpra.org/

OK, fair enough. I didn't know about xpra.

I've solved this by buying FastX from StarNet. I run a server on Linux and display my X programs on my desktop at work. When I get home, where I run the client on my home desktop, I can connect to the same server and disconnect my work clients and reconnect them to my home machine. It's the perfect solution for me.
