mnathani_? oops... gotta go... it'll have to wait until later. Hello everyone. RandalSchwartz I'm back hey I have a script that does that exact thing let me pastebin it for you ... http://pastebin.com/nXfbyuB1 the key is using "send-keys" to load the initial commands presuming you might want a shell interaction later. mnathani_? thanks hmm paste has been removed though mnathani: tmuxinator might do what you want Yeah - you came back too late This is what I managed to piece together from the interwebs: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10231075/ yeah, that's similar to what I pasted. mine reattaches nicely though let me paste again ... http://pastebin.com/tPjDtyeZ I name the session, and if I invoke the script again, it just reattaches me so I can close the window and come back later Hmm. I can simplify that if/then/else, since the exec would skip the rest of the file what do the get.* scripts look like? they run some sort of git fetch stuff this is my morning "sync with the world" window so basically just think of them as "actions to perform in that window" right I like how tmux is so flexible / scriptable but having it be tmux, I can close that window (sometimes accidentally) and then just run my get.all command again (that script), and I'm back in the middle of what it's doing the ones that run with && exit close themselves so the tabs automatically reduce for the other ones, I might do "make.git && exit" if git has changed and again, it's fire-and-forget if all goes well, the tab goes away if not, I have an interaction directly with history availble tmux rocks :) my normal connection to a host is "ssh -t foo tmux att" and so in my .tmux.conf on that host... new-session -smain so that if it runs the .tmux.conf, it makes a new session to attach to but if it's already running, that's skipped damnit randal i'm trying to go to your links and it says iot has been removed twice :) i used to have good enoguh session management with linux virtual console in text mode of course but i've never had anything halfway decent since using X I don't put permanent things on pastebin it's bad enough using pastebin in the first place yeah i expire mine after a week ok, lemme do one more and why do they have "bash" highlighting, but not any real shell? ... http://pastebin.com/AUy0bdGj the moment I see I'm in bash, I try to execute a real shell oh i see how it works randal: i have that habit too like if i'm doing something on someone elses machine and they have bash i shift to zsh before continuing regardless. err regardless if i'm going to take any advantage of it or not although for some reason some people seem to have bash shells that don't even tell you the current path well just ksh but I usually type PS1=$\ and unalias -a before working on someone elses shell bash suffers from being GNU-like :) a surprising number of people have prompt lines that take up half the screen Yeah, that's weird. mkb: my prompt is prety huge http://pastebin.com/GmrtDySh i'm just using some bundled thing prompt clint weird prompt -p makes my urxvt go slow now the fade prompt got really slow
