2 questions about working with tmux
hi
I'm trying to migrate away from screen (biggest selling point for tmux
is (for me) that it doesn't preallocate memory for history).
but while working on migration I hit 2 problems that I can't solve.
first problem - too small window.
I work on rather large terminals, but when I start new *detached*
session, it's created as if it was 80x23 window.
Example:
created simple test script - test.pl which does:
#v+
#!/usr/bin/env perl
while (1) {
printf "%-40s : %s\n", scalar localtime time, " "x20;
sleep 30;
}
#v-
i'm using terminal that is that big:
#v+
=$ stty size
97 319
#v-
So, since each line of output from test.pl is only 144 characters long -
fits easily.
But when I'll start session auto-detached, with test.pl running:
=$ tmux new-session -d -s xxx 'perl test.pl'
created window is too small:
=$ tmux list-windows
1: sh [80x23]
layout: b85e,80x23,0,0
when I then attach to the terminal, all lines that have been *already*
outputted by test.pl, are badly wrapped:, and it looks like this:

Wed Jan 12 17:21:46 2011 :
Wed Jan 12 17:22:16 2011 :
this is problematic, as I'm using script that is more important that this
test.pl, and the wrapping of it's output makes it much less usable.
So, I'm wondering if there is a way to make initial window size for newly
created, detached session, to be somehow configured.
second problem is problem with multiple panes.
Right now I'm using following "layout" in my screen session:
++
| *FIXED HEIGHT PANE*|
||
++
| *FIXED HEIGHT PANE*|
||
++
||
||
||
||
||
||
++
that is - I use 3 panels, split horizontally, with the top 2 having predefined,
fixed height of 10 lines.
Now - I know I can make it myself, but running tmux, doing the split, and then
manually changing sizes of panes, but I'm looking for a script-based way to do
it.
In general - I need a script that will:
1. check for existing session
2. if the session exists - exit
3. if it doesn't exist - make new one, detached
4. in the new session, on first window, make 3 panes, change their sizes to 10
lines, 10 lines, rest
i checked the docs and examples, and even bugged people on irc, but I wasn't
able to get to a way to do it.
is there any way this could be done?
for the second problem - i.e. setting panes to 10lines/10lines/rest -
I'd be happy even to get a way to do it interactively (i.e. press a
button, and the heights set to predefined sizes).
Best regards,
depesz

Re: 2 questions about working with tmux
someone else asked for a way to set the initial size but they didn't really give a convincing use case so i didn't do it what you can do to get it the right size is do tmux new\; detach rather than new -d you can resize the panes after you've created them tmux new -d\; splitw -d\; resizep -U 100\; resizep -D 1\; attach or alternatively tmux new -d\; splitw -d\; set -g main-pane-height 2\; selectl main-horizontal\; set -u main-pane-height\; attach of course this doesn't really help unless you can make the window the right size On Wed, Jan 12, 2011 at 07:02:50PM +0100, hubert depesz lubaczewski wrote: > On Wed, Jan 12, 2011 at 12:58:27PM -0500, Patrick Shanahan wrote: > > * hubert depesz lubaczewski [01-12-11 11:53]: > > > > > > that is - I use 3 panels, split horizontally, with the top 2 having > > > predefined, fixed height of 10 lines. > > > > > > Now - I know I can make it myself, but running tmux, doing the split, and > > > then > > > manually changing sizes of panes, but I'm looking for a script-based way > > > to do > > > it. > > > > > > In general - I need a script that will: > > > 1. check for existing session > > > 2. if the session exists - exit > > > 3. if it doesn't exist - make new one, detached > > > 4. in the new session, on first window, make 3 panes, change their sizes > > > to 10 lines, 10 lines, rest > > > > > > i checked the docs and examples, and even bugged people on irc, but I > > > wasn't able to get to a way to do it. > > > > get an xterm window with size 136x52 at 575+20 > >black on white > >title "Pakas Tmux ML" > >attaches existing session or starts new if no existing > > > > xterm -geometry 136x52+575+20 -ls -bg white -fg black \ > > -title "Pakas Tmux ML" -e tmux -2u attach > > > > > > > > ~/.tmux.conf > > split-window -v -l 10 > > swap-pane -U > > split-window -v -l 10 > > > > > > will give you three panes but the two lowers will be 10 lines each > > I know about split -l, but as you said - it will work for lower panes > only. any way to do it with top panes? > > as for the xterm command - most of the steps I can do on my own, i have > problems only with the 10 lines requirement, and too small default > *detached* window. > > Best regards, > > depesz > > > -- > Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks > Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.

Re: 2 questions about working with tmux
Hi depesz, I too am evaluating tmux to see if it would be a suitable replacement of gnu screen. Your questions are interesting to me as well. As I've only been playing around with tmux for a few days, I decided to attempt a solution for you. I am in no way an expert on this and expect I will be corrected shortly if I am wrong ;) It appears as though tmux gets it's own geometry for the panes from _your_ terminal session; and it's all relative to the terminal window's size. You can see this by taking a small terminal window and sizing the panes exactly like you want, and then expand the terminal to full-screen. You will see the number of lines/characters in each pane is different now. They won't stick to the explicit 10 lines per pane you are hoping for. Here's a line that will work for you, I think. But it will require you connect to a terminal to size them. I've tried setting resize-pane without an attach and it wouldn't work. Basically, what this does is split the windows like you want, and then resize the first two panes upward to the smallest size (2 lines) by using an extreme size of 500 lines. Following that, it will resize downward by 8 lines to give you a pane size of 10 lines. tmux new-session -s xxx 'perl test.pl' \; splitw -v \; split-window -v \; attach \; resize-pane -U -t0 500 \; resize-pane -U -t1 500 \; resize-pane -D -t0 8 \; resize-pane -D -t1 8 \; detach I know you were looking for a way to size them without connecting to a terminal, but I'm not sure you can get around that. Patrick's solution with xterm is probably the closest you could get, and that would require at least an X-Server. xterm -geometry 178x53 -ls -e "tmux new-session -s xxx 'perl test.pl' \; split-window -v \; split-window -v \; attach \; resize-pane -U -t0 500 \; resize-pane -U -t1 500 \; resize-pane -D -t0 8 \; resize-pane -D -t1 8 \; detach" You can get your xterm geometry by starting a new session and running "tmux ls" and it will show you your window size. Just +1 to the height.

I prefer issuing a detach first so the session conforms size wize to my present terminal. I have an alias defined: alias tm='tmux detach; tmux -2u attach' but I *normally* keep only one session with 10 windows of which several are split into two or more panes. note: please do not cc me, I read the list and have no need of multiple copies.

Re: 2 questions about working with tmux
Also of note to the devs, there may be a bug with regards to the creation and detaching of a session within the same commandline. It works, but yields the following output. $ tmux new -s xxx \; detach fatal: main_dispatch: unexpected message Mike On Wed, Jan 12, 2011 at 4:56 PM, mbm329 wrote: > Oops, since you're already attaching because you pretty much _have_ > to, the "attach" can be removed from the line I gave: > > tmux new-session -s xxx 'perl test.pl' \; splitw -v \; split-window -v > \; resize-pane -U -t0 500 \; resize-pane -U -t1 500 \; resize-pane -D > -t0 8 \; resize-pane -D -t1 8 \; detach > > Mike > > > On Wed, Jan 12, 2011 at 4:51 PM, mbm329 wrote: >> Hi depesz, >> >> I too am evaluating tmux to see if it would be a suitable replacement >> of gnu screen.
