Can I Access a saved console through SSH?

I normally work on my django Projects from SSH and a lot of times I have to stop working in the middle of something. Can I access one of the consoles in the "Console" tabs such as "Bash console 1498872" from SSH?

Basically, what I want is to save the console session when I close SSH and then restart from where I left off. Can I do that?

We don't support that at the moment, but we have had a few requests for it. I have upvoted the ticket for you.

This functionality is supported by tmux, so I don't think pythonanywhere has to support this

@harry Can you guys update tmux to 1.9+? (its currently in version 1.8)

We'll take a look -- hopefully that won't interact with other packages, so it should be pretty safe to upgrade.
