The terminal emulator does not set $PWD afaik but only pass it on, it should have nothing to do with the terminal tmux is run from. My previous example works only if there is a server running already and it was not started from the symlinked directory (i.e. server's PWD is different from /tmp/b). Adding PWD to update-environ works for spawning new sessions but it will break when attaching to an existing session from another path. New windows in this session get the wrong $PWD. Additionally when setting the default-path the user has to set $PWD manually too. And even then windows using remain-on-exit will get the wrong $PWD when respawning. All this should be fixed with this patch. Through all this I realised that tmux new will copy the whole environment when no server is running yet. If a server is running already only the update-environ variables are copied. I find this a bit inconsistent that it makes a difference if a server is already running or not. Wouldn't it make more sense to copy the whole environment for every new session? For example CFLAGS="-Wall -W" tmux does set the CFLAGS variable for the windows in the new session if no server is running but doesn't if a server is running already. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
