Question

I would like to log session with byobu. I wen through the configuration files but I could not see anything like log session etc. I want byobu to log my session as soon as launch it with date. :)

Answer 1

Sessions are automatically logged (up to 10,000 lines per windows).

You can "scrollback" any time by pressing Alt-PgUp and Alt-PgDn. Note that you're in "vi mode", so you can also search for strings using / and ?. Press Enter to exit.

Now, you can also save that window to a file by pressing Shift-F7, which will write the buffer to $BYOBU_RUN_DIR/printscreen.
