This is exactly what I was looking for my system to do - After booting, TTY1 will pop up with TMUX, and the other TTYs will be left alone. It's followed by: if ] & ] thenĪgain for newbies, this says "If $TMUX is non-zero in length, and the file ".automatic_start_occurred" does not exist (the "!" in the if statement), make the file "/root/.automatic_start_occurred" and then execute "hello_world" in /usr/bin. Note that this does not spawn vim in the pre-exsiting window - there is no facility for doing that, it doesn't really make sense: as Falcon Momot points out, an existing window could be running anything, the only. Now that it's set to auto-login, I added the following to /root/.bashrc: if ] & ] thenįor newbies reading this, this says "If my terminal is terminal 1, and the $TMUX variable is zero-length, run tmux". You can attach to a running tmux session and spawn a new window which runs a particular command: tmux attach \ new-window vim. I was able to do that by editing /etc/init/tty.conf: exec /bin/mingetty -autologin root $TTY In my particular case, I'm running CentOS 6, and have it set to auto-login with root since it's just a test image. You can use tmux in Ubuntu, Debian, or other Linux distributions without any problems. These include, for example, commands for the assignment of directory rights with chmod or the shutdown -h command for a simple Linux shutdown. The $TMUX variable will be populated with something like: "/tmp/tmux-0/default,27389,0" if TMUX is running. With tmux, you enter commands to control and edit your Linux distribution. bashrc executes both when a new tty is opened, and when TMUX is opened in a terminal.įor future readers: The $TMUX variable is typically referenced to see if TMUX is running at all, but you could also use "pidof tmux".

Download tmux 3.3a here ( changes in this version ). tmux may be detached from a screen and continue running in the background, then later reattached. Thanks to JohnKiller's suggestion, I realized that. It lets you switch easily between several programs in one terminal, detach them (they keep running in the background) and reattach them to a different terminal. tmux -2CluvV -c shell-command -f file -L socket-name -S socket-path command flags DESCRIPTION tmux is a terminal multiplexer: it enables a number of terminals to be created, accessed, and controlled from a single screen.
