1) remove your .tmux.conf file (to simplify things) 2) create a file with just the word "new" in it called cmds 3) start tmux with the command:
tmux start-server \; source cmds 4) do 'tmux attach' (question: why does it detach in the first place?) 5) do 'printenv | grep -i SSH' and observe the missing SSH variables or: 1) remove your .tmux.conf 2) create a file with just the word "new" in it called cmds 3) start tmux with the command "tmux". 4) do "printenv | grep -i SSH" and observe that the SSH vars *are* present 5) do "tmux source cmds" (from within the tmux window) 6) switch to the new session and window 7) do "printenv | grep -i SSH" and observe the missing SSH env vars so is it a bug? i.e. is 'source' supposed to accept *all* commands and do the right thing? or a documentation bug? i.e. "new-session" isn't allowed in a source'ed file? note that if you extend the 2nd experiment and create a file called cmds2 with "neww" (new-window) in it, and then do "tmux source cmds2", the shell in the new window *does* have the SSH env vars while the shell created by the original 'new' (new-session) command does *not*. thoughts/comments? /mark This communication and any attachments may contain confidential/proprietary information and is intended for information purposes only.
