Multiple et connections about eternalterminal

[MisterTea]

That's by design. There's no et daemon that starts when your machine boots, so it spawns an et server when you connect. You can't have multiple servers listening on the same port, so it kicks out other servers.
If you want multiple terminals, you should be using "tmux -CC" which lets you have multiple tabs and windows using the same connection. Unfortuntely, only iTerm (mac only) and a fork of Terminator supports tmux -CC at the moment.
It may not be hard to allow multiple et connections. I'll look into it and report back. The issue is what to do when a client dies. If the client reconnects and a new connection starts, then we need some way to clean up the old connections. Mosh does this by warning you when there's a stale connection and letting the user kill it.

Thanks for the quick response @MisterTea!
I unfortunately don't use a terminal emulator that supports tmux -CC; further to that I use a tiled window manager that does all my tabbing, window organizing and tiling already and would like to avoid introducing yet another layer on top of that with tmux -CC if I can avoid it.

So as of now the et one connection limit is kind of a deal breaker for me :(

Consider this an eager feature request for native support for multiple sessions with et :)
Even if it's as simple as mosh's support for this, which isn't great as you mentioned, but a big step forward at least.

Cheers,
Niko

Sure. I also don't like this limitation so I'll look into it and see if I can find a simple way to make it happen
