Vladimir, thanks for the quick response. I added -g and that did in fact
fix the index numbering option, which is great. Nicholas, you are correct,
I was just starting tmux with "tmux", which I was expecting to cause it to
read the configuration file (I guess I'm still thinking in terms of
screen). So starting with attach works the first time, but subsequent
invocations of course cause tmux to attach to the current session. Is there
a way to start multiple sessions of tmux with the windows specified in the
config file?
I forgot to include the version info last time. It's 1.3-2 on Linux Mint 11
running 2.6.38.
Thanks again for the fast and helpful response.
- Eric

provide companies an easier-to-deploy, easier-to-manage and more affordable
virtual desktop model.http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51426474/
