-An arbitrary application can be started as follows:
-
-	$ abduco -c demo your-application
-
-`CTRL+\` detaches from the active session. All available sessions can be
-displayed by running:
-
-	$ abduco

-	  Fri    2014-11-14 18:52:36    demo
-
-The session can be restored with
-
-	$ abduco -a demo
