Byobu
Byobu is Ubuntu's text-based window manager based on the
screen utility. Using Byobu, users can quickly create and move between
different windows
over a single SSH connection or TTY terminal, monitor many
important statistics about their system, detach and reattach to
sessions later
while programs continue to run in the background.
Byobu includes an enhanced profile and configuration utilities
for the screen window manager, such as toggle-able system status
notifications.
