In this case, the command output will remain until you press Enter in the pane, and then it will automatically close. Here you use the shell read command to wait for a user-input newline after the main command has finished. Here you dont have to wait that long, you attach before tmux new-window runs. With the previous solution you would have to wait until all of them finish. The command is run with sh -c, and you can exploit that to make the window stay alive at the end: tmux split-window 'ping -c 3 127.0.0.1 read' (tmux new-session -d sleep 5 tmux new-window) & sleep 2 tmux attach-session sleep 5 simulates commands that take time. If you don't want to change the overall options, there is another approach. 1 Answer Sorted by: 3 Plagiarized and altered a bit from another of my answers, here's an example: TMUXSESSIONNAME'scratch' tmux new-session -d -s TMUXSESSIONNAME >/dev/null tmux new-window -t TMUXSESSIONNAME tmux send-keys -t TMUXSESSIONNAME:1. The pane will remain open after ping finishes, but be marked "dead" until you close it manually. Note that the order is important - the command has to come after any of those preceding options that appear, and it has to be a single argument, so you need to quote it if it has spaces.įor commands like ping -c that terminate quickly, you can set the remain-on-exit option first: tmux set-option remain-on-exit on (from man tmux, section "Windows and Panes").
Tmux new window windows#
You can give each tmux session a unique name, create windows within each session, and put those windows into panes.
Tmux new window install#
(If you saw my previous answer, I initially thought you can use the environment but of course that is per session not per window, it has to be a user variable.The split-window command has the following syntax: split-window [-t Updated Nov 8, 2022, 3:41 pm EDT 9 min read fatmawati achmad zaenuri/ Install tmux from your Linux distribution's repository, then run 'tmux' in the Linux terminal. Then you can use it in your C-\ binding ( run-shell expands formats): bind 'C-\' run 'tmux splitw "ssh could do similar with the window name if it is already the host: bind 'C-\' run 'tmux splitw "ssh \"#\""'īut that won't work if you change the format of the window name, or if you rename the window manually. 219 I know that it's possible in tmux to join a window as a pane, but is it possible to move a pane to it's own window (tab) I tried searching it up the man page but couldn't find it. Then you want to bind a key to split the window and also ssh into server2? Is that correct?Īssuming this is right, this is the relatively common question of getting tmux to do something based on the existing state of the current window, and the answer is you need to tell it the state before your create the window, or from inside the window.īecause you already have shortcuts to create the window you could store the server name in your C-s binding and then use it in your new C-\ binding.įor example, change your C-s binding to set a user variable on the window with the target host, something like this - note this is doing the set-option from inside the new window, but before it runs ssh: bind C-s command-prompt -pserver 'neww "tmux set -w \"%1\" ssh \"%1\""' So you ssh into server1 and run tmux, then ssh into server2 from inside tmux. Thank you for any any direction, comments, questions. tmux new-window -n:mywindow exec something allows me to send commands to a freshly created window, but I need something like tmux select-window -t:0 my command I suppose I could use send-keys but seems like there should be something that takes a command or list of commands that get run.
At that point I'd probably just do another C-S(get prompted for ssh servername) and join the window(which saying that isn't a bad idea as an alternative) The nested windows would then split and show another pane on that server.
The closest way we have found is nesting and using a plugin to change which server tmux would respond to the prefix.
nf and scripts all follow me to every server.Įach window has the server name set, though in the future we may try to get it to servername,task (example"srv001,htop") depends on how this works out :) What I would like to do is bind C-\ and C-"-" to split the current window and ssh into that same server instead of it opening a window for the main server. Once you are in Tmux you’ll notice a status line at the bottom of the screen which shows information about the current session. The way we use tmux is to ssh into a main server, we will then open tmux, and create a new window for each server we ssh into (C-S, prompts for a server and this will then create a new windows and ssh into the server). This will open a new session, create a new window, and start a shell in that window.
