A light and portable session manager for tmux(1).
tmux_session [-d] [name]
Attach to the named tmux(1) session,
or default if no name is given.
Run make install or simply copy the script into a location on your path.
tmux_session only depends on pure sh(1) and,
of course,
tmux(1).
tmux_session(1) can be configured by a shellscript at $HOME/.tmux_sessionrc,
which is sourced upon invocation of the utility.
Its location might be overwritten by the environment variable
$TMUX_SESSION_HOME.
Named sessions might have default configurations,
which are shell-scripts that are sourced by the main script.
The default location is $HOME/.tmux_session.d,
but it might be overwritten by the environment variable $TMUX_SESSIONRC.
The script must match the name of the session and end with .sh.
It should provide a function named newsession,
which is called to setup a new tmux(1) session,
otherwise a default session with a single window is created.
Example:
startdir="${HOME}/projects/myproject"
shellcmd="/usr/local/bin/bash --rcfile ${startdir}/etc/bashrc"
tmux new-session -ds "$session" \
-n src \
-c "${startdir}/src" \
"$shellcmd"
tmux set-option -t "$session" \
default-command "$shellcmd"
tmux new-window -t "${session}:2" \
-n obj -c "${startdir}/obj"
