No, there aren't. The information whether a session is running is determined by the byobu wrapper by examining the output of the backend's standard way of listing running sessions. The rest of the state is maintained in /dev/shm/byobu-$USER. > > > This fails at the point where > > it tries to get to its state in /dev/shm: > > > > /usr/lib/byobu/include/dirs:52: no matches found: /dev/shm/byobu-nik-* > > mkdir: cannot create directory „/cache.tmux“: Permission denied > > The “no matches found” message hints to me (via codesearch.d.n) that you > may have zsh set as /bin/sh, is that correct?

This is, in that case, completely unrelated. /bin/sh points to dash here, it was never set to anything else. The issue results solely from tmux list-sessions returning a session running on another host and byobu then trying to blindly read /dev/shm/byobu-$USER. I think this might be related to some misconfiguration of the NFS root somewhere, but still byobu should not try to use files blindly without checking for errors. -nik -- Dominik George (Vorstandsvorsitzender, Pädagogischer Leiter) Teckids e.V. - Erkunden, Entdecken, Erfinden. https://www.teckids.org
