tmux-start
Start tmux with a sesson and windows.
Syntax:
tmux-start <session-name> [window-name [window-keys]] ...
Example:
tmux-start mysession mywindow top
The example does this:
-
If the session name "mysession" exists, then attach and exit.
-
Create a new session with name "mysesssion".
-
Create a window name "mywindow".
-
Send the window keys "top" followed by a return, in order to run the "top" command.
How this works
If the session name already exists:
- Attach to it then exit.
If there's a next arg:
- Create a session name by using the arg.
If there's a next arg:
- Create a window name by using the arg.
If there's a next arg:
- Send window keys by using the arg.
If there's a next arg:
- Repeat the steps to create a window name and window keys.
Finally:
- Select the first window in order to make it visible.
