Beginners,
I’ve created documentation on getting started using tmux on AWS.
(I’ve also added the link to: Wiki thread: Intro Workshop).

@reshama that’s great! Thanks for sharing. A couple of suggestions:

Maybe mention that one of the top uses for tmux is being able to leave things running for a while, and it doesn’t matter if the terminal closes or you lose your internet connection for a moment?
ctrl-b followed by ? brings up a full list of keyboard shortcuts, which I find quite handy

(BTW, you may find your markdown files look a little nicer if you use the kbd tag for keyboard shortcuts, as I did in the 2nd bullet point above - e.g.: ctrl-b . In markdown, simply type: <kbd>ctrl-b</kbd> )

BTW do you have a twitter handle? I’d love to share your great tips on twitter

## <a name="section-a"></a>Part 1.  Background


### Purpose
* Lets you tile window panes in a command-line environment.
* This in turn allows you to run, or keep an eye on, multiple programs within one terminal.
* **:key: With tmux, you can leave scripts running for a while, and it doesn’t matter if the terminal closes or you lose your internet connection for a moment; the script is running in the background**

I am using this great tool for sometime now, its a plugin for tmux through which we can store the current tmux session (runnning applications, panes, environment) and restore it even after server/system restart. Its quite handy and saves a lot of time while working on local system.
