Cannot 'write' to pts because user not logged in
Hello All,
I use 'write' for a number of things, but since I switched to tmux, I can
no longer write to different terminals. 'write' complains that the use
I'm trying to send a message isn't logged in on the target terminal.
write: is not logged in on pts/10
One idea is to get tmux to register the pty as a login. Is that possible?
Another idea is to find out which is the "controlling" pts for the tmux
client and 'write' to that. That would be an acceptable workaround...but
I can't quite figure out how to do it. I've tried to get tmux to list
information like #{client_id} using the -F option but I get
nothing. So, how can I ask tmux to tell me which terminal a particular
session is on? Is that possible?
Thanks,
PMouse

[tmux:tickets] #64 Imporve tmux emulating virtual console

** [tickets:#64] Imporve tmux emulating virtual console**
**Status:** open
**Created:** Wed Sep 18, 2013 04:09 PM UTC by roucarb
**Last Updated:** Wed Sep 18, 2013 04:09 PM UTC
**Owner:** nobody
Hi,
I use something like this to create virtual console like with tmux, shared
between local and remote access (think about science computation)
if test -z ${TMUX}; then
if tmux has-session -t ${TMUX_SESSION} 2> /dev/null; then
s_id="$(tty)"-"$(date "+%Y%m%d%H%M%N")"
exec tmux new-session -d -s "${s_id}" -t "${TMUX_SESSION}"\;\
new-window \; \
attach-session -t $session_id
else
exec tmux -l new-session -A -s ${TMUX_SESSION}
fi
fi
Will be nice to have some shortcut for some operation:
* create a unique name for the s_id something like the session number (avoiding
the use of the racy $(tty)"-"$(date "+%Y%m%d%H%M%N") ). An option like -S will
be really convinient (preferably not racy)
* tmux new-session -s foo -t fu when no fu session is running fail. Could be
possible to add a flag to say create the session group if not exist like for
instance -T (preferably not racy)
* tmux new-session could be completed by an option -W meaning create a new
window
So the racy and quite complicated command line could be abbreviated to
something like:
test -z ${TMUX} && exec tmux new-session -A -S -W -T ${TMUX_SESSION}

[PATCH] Keep client when attaching in a "child" cmdq
With tmux 1.7, when a client executes a 'source-file' command that
includes a 'new-session' or an 'attach-session' command, the client will
end up attached.
After the cmdq revamp, such a client always exits after 'source-file'
finishes. The "attaching commands" set cmdq->client_exit to 0, but, when
run under 'source-file' (or 'if-shell'), this only affects the "child"
cmdq that is used by these commands; the main cmdq created for the
client's direct commands still has client_exit at its default of 1, so
the client is told to exit shortly after the source-file command
finishes.
Introduce a new "unset" value to cmdq->client_exit so that
a client_exit value that is explicitly established in a "child" cmdq
('source-file' or 'if-shell') can be distinguished and passed along
to its "parent" cmdq (i.e. eventually up to the client's main cmdq).
---
The following shell command reproduces the issue:
./tmux -L other new -ds test \; if true 'attach -t test'
After the cmdq introduction the client exits immediately. In older
versions (and after this patch) the client stays attached to the
"test" session.
The same thing happens if you replace the "if-shell" command with
a "source-file" that does the attach; if-shell is just easier to use
in a shell one-liner since it does not need a separate file.

Copying from tmux to clipboard or text file needed urgently.
I have the urgent need to copy a tmux pane to either the normal clipboard or a text file. I have used these instructions to copy the text output in tmux - Cut & Paste - 1) enter copy mode using Control+a [ 2) navigate to beginning of text, you want to select and hit Control+Space 3) move around using arrow keys to select region 4) when you reach end of region simply hit Alt+w to copy the region 5) now Control+a ] will paste the selection And its copied somewhere but I cant see it or find it. 'xclip' is running to help in the process. Whilst I was following the instructions the text was not highlighted, I don’t know if it should have been? Can somebody please help me save this pane output so that I can post a bug against the new kernel for Debian testing.

I feel like we're going round in circles here, from what I've read in the
other thread.
Which version of tmux is this on? Git (1.9)? If so, I think when you say
"whole buffer" here, you're probably wanting to capture the entire pane (see
capture-pane, with the -S and -E options).
Getting the contents of that in to the clipboard, if that's even what you
want now (given that again, capturep can output the result to STDOUT), is
down to tools like xclip, etc., but if the content is in a file, what
difference would it make?

So I've used this 'tmux capture-pane -E 3319 -S 1 -t keep \; save-buffer -b 0 ~/tmuxtest2.txt' and 'tmuxtest2.txt' is created but still only shows just the visible part of the pane, so what am I failing on atm please? > > Getting the contents of that in to the clipboard, if that's even what > you want now (given that again, capturep can output the result to > STDOUT), is down to tools like xclip, etc., but if the content is in > a file, what difference would it make? I'd be happy if it just created a whole buffer/pane text-file.

You can either remove the alias with the 'unalias' command or call xclip as 'command xclip' which will bypass the alias. > If you feel like it, the whole of the .bashrc is at > http://paste.debian.net/45437/ but I cant see why its failing at all. If you are talking about the 'unexpected end of file' errors then that's because you have commented out the closing braces of the prompt_on() and prompt_off() functions and are missing a 'fi' at the end.

'Ctrl-a ]' will paste the buffer directly into whatever application you're currently running, which would be the terminal in your case. I guess that's not really what you want. Is anything happening when you press that? I can't tell from your notation but note that you're NOT supposed to hold Ctrl when pressing ']'. The correct sequence for you would be instead of doing 6+7 to execute the pipeline I wrote earlier: $ tmux saveb - | command xclip -i -selection clipboard Jan -- October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
