Take the 2-minute tour ×  Currently I don't seem able to run
multiple sessions of byobu. After the initial byobu instance,
running on one terminal, when I run byobu in another terminal it
always attaches to the first byobu session.  Is there away to
start independent byobu sessions?  share|improve this question
add comment  3 Answers  It is very easy. (At least on my ubuntu
10.04 machine, where byobu uses screen.);  If you already have
one session running, and do not want to reattach but instad
create a new one, just type:  byobu -S my-other-session  Where
my-other-session is how you are naming the new session.  Later,
if you have already more than one byobu sessions running, it is
sufficient to type   And you will be presented with a list of
running sessions to choose from:  Byobu sessions...    1.
