**Experimental tmux Support for Linux**
The `run` script with `cos_117.cfg` spawns xterms for consoles, which works well on desktops but not on VPS/servers without X forwarding or for users preferring SSH/shell/mosh.
To resolve, this commit adds tmux support via:
+ tmux_run - Script that manages a cray simulator session.
+ cos_117_tmux.cfg - Modified config that spawns tmux windows instead of xterms.
Benefits:
- Organizes cray simulator and consoles as tmux windows in a tmux session.
- Allows attaching, detaching, and exiting without stopping the simulator.
Usage:
```
tmux_run start
tmux_run attach
or execute `tmux_run` and select from menu.
```
Full Usage:
```
Usage: tmux_run {start|stop|restart|kill|attach|status}
start - Start the Cray simulator session
stop - Stop the Cray simulator session
restart - Restart the Cray simulator session
kill - Kill the Cray simulator session (unsafe)
attach - Attach to the Cray simulator session
status - List running Cray simulator and consoles
Use keys 'Ctrl b <0 to ...>' to move to specific windows
Use keys 'Ctrl b n' to move to the next window
Use keys 'Ctrl b p' to move to the previous window
Use keys 'Ctrl b d' to detach from the simulator session.
```
Tests:
All options work as intended, except repeated starts/stops may cause race conditions, requiring the `kill` option.
The script passed shellcheck with no issues detected.
This repository contains the source code for the Cray PVP simulator. This simulator allows you
to run unmodified Cray software for the following machines:
- Cray XMP
- Cray YMP-el
- Cray J90
- Cray SV1
Support for other machines, such as the Cray-1, the Cray-YMP, even the Cray-C90 and Cray-T90
would most likely be possible, but for the lack of SW availablility for these platforms.
Apart from the source code, also included in the repository the tools and files needed to
create an executable COS-1.17 image for the Cray-XMP.
If you have access to old Cray SW, especially for as-of yet unsupported machines,
please contact me!
