I'm looking to switch from screen to tmux for my terminal multiplexing needs, but there's a feature of screen that I need to replicate in tmux: the -X option, which allows one to run arbitrary screen commands inside an existing screen session.
I've added the following lines (taken from here) to my .bashrc to automatically start a tmux session on login:
if [ "$PS1" != "" -a "${STARTED_TMUX:-x}" = x -a "${SSH_TTY:-x}" != x ]
then
STARTED_TMUX=1; export STARTED_TMUX
sleep 1
( (tmux has-session -t remote && tmux attach-session -t remote) || (tmux new-session -s remote) ) && exit 0
echo "tmux
Hi,As a i3 user, I do not really use tmux or urxvt-tabbed anymore to manage my tabs.But I really miss the fact that tmux open a new shell on the same directory as the previous one.To emulate this feature, I wrote a simple C program which print the current working directory of the focused window so you can do things like that:urxvt -cd `xcwd`There is no proper way to get the working directory of a
I'm using tmux from a while and I'm very happy with it.
I'm trying to set up pairing with tmux (wemux specifically). I have a pair user set up on my system and can ssh into pair and attach to a tmux session manually.
I keep flip flopping between tmux and screen, and right now I'm back on the tmux kick. I've been doing some setup for a friend, and I want to make a hard copy of the session so he can see the commands that I've run. I know this is possible in screen, but can I do it with tmux? The man page doesn't seem to have anything related to hardcopy...

On the other hand, it also requires some "hackery" to really get it to shine like the sun. Once you're done, though, it's brutally efficient.I don`t doubt that, but I don`t recommend that Phillip makes urxvt and tmux the new
I would like to know if there is a way to get tmux to behave like screen -D -R so I could say, have the command as a default command in Putty.
These screen switches would force detach of an existing screen session for my user (even if it was still active and logged-in somewhere else) and reattach it to the current session.
Sharing Terminal Sessions With Tmux And Screen
tmux and GNU Screen
are well-known utilities which allow multiplexing of virtual consoles.
Using either, it is possible to start a session, detach, move to a
different machine and resume the session in uninterrupted progress.
It's also possible to use these tools to share a single session between
more than one user at the same time.
