Reconnecting after network loss
Sessions survive disconnects
Section titled “Sessions survive disconnects”When a connection drops — bad Wi-Fi, switching networks, server restart — the session stays in your session list with its scrollback intact. Nothing disappears.
Reconnecting
Section titled “Reconnecting”Reconnection is explicit: reopen the session and SigilTTY re-establishes the connection.
Scrollback from before the disconnect stays visible; the remote shell itself starts fresh
(unless you run something like tmux on the server).
Serial is special
Section titled “Serial is special”Serial sessions can resume automatically when the same device reappears — see Serial device matching.
Tips for flaky networks
Section titled “Tips for flaky networks”- For long-running remote work, run
tmuxorscreenon the server so your remote state survives disconnects too. - Tunnel rules stop with their session on disconnect; restart the rule after reconnecting.
