tl;dr Nothing wrong with tmux, my mistake. tmux start-server isn't even needed
for my use-case.
I've spent a bit of time resolving my issue and it turns out not to be tmux's
fault at all. I'm sorry for wasting your time. Thank you for trying to help.
I'm going to try to explain in a bit more detail in case it helps other people.
Like a lot of others, I wanted a way to launch tmux sessions on login
automatically. That is my use-case.
The main problem I had was that konsole --tabs-from-file seems to have stopped
working.
I have a filed named autostart that my window manager (openbox) launches. In
it, I used to launch konsole like so:
tmux start-server
for i in ~/tmux_sessions/*.session; do echo $i; "$i"; done
konsole --background-mode--profile Shell --tabs-from-file
~/tmux_sessions/work_console.tabs
work_console.tabs looked something like this:
title: email;; command: ssh -t myserver tmux attach -t email
title: meta;; command: tmux attach -t meta
title: project1;; command: tmux attach -t project1
title: project2;; command: tmux attach -t project2
...
I'm now using Terminal from xfce and I'm invoking it like so:
for i in ~/tmux_sessions/*.session; do echo $i; "$i"; done
Terminal --maximize \
-T 'email' -e 'ssh -t mediapc tmux attach -t email' \
--tab -T 'meta' -e 'tmux attach -t meta' \
--tab -T 'project1' -e 'tmux attach -t project1' \
--tab -T 'project2' -e 'tmux attach -t project2'
...
for i in $(pidof tmux); do for j in $(ps --ppid $i -o pid h); do kill -s
SIGWINCH $j; done; done
As a sample, the session I've called 'meta' i looks like this:
#!/bin/bash
SESSION_NAME='meta'
if [[ ! -z "$TMUX" ]] || [[ ! -z "$TMUX_PANE" ]]; then
echo "Already inside a tmux session, do not know what to do"
exit 1
fi
ps -C tmux > /dev/null 2>&1 # is tmux running?
if [ ! $? ]; then
echo 'tmux needs to be running by now'
exit 1
fi
tmux -q has-session -t "$SESSION_NAME" > /dev/null 2>&1 # this doesn't seem to
work as I thought
if [ ! $? ]; then
echo "$SESSION_NAME already exists"
exit 0
fi
NEWCWD=~/tmux_sessions
( cd "$NEWCWD"; tmux new-session -d -s "$SESSION_NAME" )
tmux send-keys -t "$SESSION_NAME" 'vim meta.session' Enter
( cd "$NEWCWD"; tmux split -h -t "$SESSION_NAME" )
tmux send-keys -t "$SESSION_NAME" 'vim konsolesetup' Enter
NEWCWD=~/.config/openbox
( cd "$NEWCWD"; tmux split -t "$SESSION_NAME" )
tmux send-keys -t "$SESSION_NAME" 'vim autostart.sh' Enter
tmux select-pane -L
tmux split -t "$SESSION_NAME"
tmux send-keys -t "$SESSION_NAME" 'sudo tail -F -n 100 /var/log/messages | ccze
--mode ansi' Enter
