How to Keep Your Termux Session Open: Tips & Tricks

To make Termux not close the session easily, you can follow these steps:
\

Increase the 'Keep Alive Interval': By default, Termux has a keep-alive interval of 1800 seconds (30 minutes). You can increase this interval so that the session stays open for a longer period. To do this, open the Termux app and execute the following command:\

termux-wake-lock\

\
2. Use a Terminal Multiplexer: A terminal multiplexer allows you to create multiple persistent sessions within a single Termux session. It keeps the sessions running even if you disconnect or close Termux. The most popular terminal multiplexer is called \'tmux\'. To install tmux, open Termux and run the following command:\
```\
pkg install tmux\
```\
\
Once tmux is installed, you can start a new tmux session by running the command:\
```\
tmux new-session\
```\
\
You can detach from the session by pressing `Ctrl+b` followed by `d`. This will keep the session running in the background even if you close Termux. To reattach to the session, use the command:\
```\
tmux attach-session\
```\
\
3. Use a Remote SSH Connection: Instead of directly using Termux, you can connect to your device remotely using SSH. This way, even if you close the SSH client, the session on your device will remain open. You can use apps like JuiceSSH or ConnectBot to establish an SSH connection to your device.\
\
To enable SSH in Termux, you need to install the `openssh` package. Run the following command to install it:\
```\
pkg install openssh\
```\
\
Once installed, you can start the SSH server by executing:\
```\
sshd\
```\
\
Note down the IP address and port number displayed in the output. Then, connect to your device using an SSH client and provide the IP address and port number to establish the connection.\
\
By following these steps, you can ensure that your Termux session remains open for a longer duration or even in the background, allowing you to work without interruptions.'}
