 |
|
Hi,
I want to do the equivalent of this:
| Code: |
tmux attach <name> || (tmux create-session <name>;{wait for session to init};C-b:source-file ~/.tmuxes/<name>)
|
So here's the deal:
I have several different terminal scenarios. Frequently I'm developing on several interconnected projects and need to bounce from one to the other and keep command history.
I have a config file like this:
| Code: |
rename-session "myproject"
select-window -t :0
rename-window 'foo'
send-keys -t :0 "cd foo;c" C-m
new-window -t :1 -c "bar" -n "bar"
new-window -t :2 -c "bamf" -n "bamf"
new-window -t :3 -c "biff" -n "biff"
# and so on
select-window -t :0
|
The problem is, if I put these commands into the .tmux.conf file it says session not available, because when that file is read there is no session yet.
So what I want is to write a script which:
- starts tmux trying to bind to the named session if it exists. If success, then exit 0.
- start tmux with a new session.
- tell the running tmux to source-file <name>
Does somebody know how to, from the command line, source-file a second file like that?
Thanks. |

The tmux-resurrect plugin can save and restore your session - windows you have open and your bash history.
Make ~/.tmux/resurrect a symlink, write an eselect module for it, and you can juggle multiple sessions. |

I'm doing something like this:
| Code: |
tmux -f ~/tmuxes.conf
|
where tmuxes.conf is something like:
| Code: |
set -g utf8
set-window-option -g utf8 on
new-session -d -s "foo" -n "nine-db"
send-keys -t ced:0 "cd $HOME/ws/98/ced/nine-db;clear" C-m
new-window -t ced:1 -c "$HOME/ws/98/ced/angle-grinder" -n "grndr"
new-window -t ced:2 -c "$HOME/ws/98/ced/rally" -n "rally"
...
select-window -t ced:0
new-session -s "bar" -n "nine-db"
send-keys -t thapps:0 "cd $HOME/ws/trunk/head/nine-db;clear" C-m
new-window -t thapps:1 -c "$HOME/ws/trunk/head/rcm" -n "rcm"
new-window -t thapps:2 -c "$HOME/ws/trunk/head/ar-api" -n "arapi"
...
select-window -t thapps:0
new-session -s "thplugins" -n "nine-db"
send-keys -t thplugins:0 "cd $HOME/ws/trunk/head/nine-db;clear" C-m
new-window -t thplugins:1 -c "$HOME/ws/trunk/head/angle-grinder" -n "grndr"
new-window -t thplugins:2 -c "$HOME/ws/trunk/head/rally" -n "rally"
...
select-window -t thplugins:0

The problem is, I wind up with the current session which starts after the config file is finished, and it's sitting there. I have to exit and then tmux a to get to my sessions.
I've figured out how to move between sessions easily enough.
So I guess the killers now are:
- How to get my colors back?
- How to get rid of that hanging session?
- If I rerun my ~/tmuxes.conf file, I get every window in each session refreshed, except for the window 0 which is the default window. It would be nice to have it restore the window 0 of each session.
