tmux-screen-rotate

Welcome to my Tmux window shuffle repo.

These scripts present examples of dashboards and how to make a rotating Tmux windows. A TTY1 screen can be used (or over SSH) to visualize data and rotate through these Tmux windows.

I have included detailed install examples, you just need to decide:

---

root-install

Are you going to run this as root, and just use a user to execute all the commands? If so this folder is for you!

user-install

Do you need to run this as a local user? Great! The functionality is the exact same!

sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

Your options will be presented to you when using the dpkg-reconfigure utility above, here are the choices:
          VGA  (sizes  8x8,  8x14,  8x16,  16x28  and  16x32),  
          Terminus  (sizes  6x12, 8x14, 8x16, 10x20, 12x24, 14x28  and 16x32), 
          TerminusBold  (sizes 8x14, 8x16, 10x20, 12x24,  14x28  and  16x32),

          Fixed  (sizes  8x13,  8x14,  8x15,  8x16  and  8x18).
