Well, the problem is that every command needs to pass this over the Unix domain socket so anything larger wouldn't be ideal. Also it'd mean bumping the protocol version and I really don't want to do that for this. I'm not sure it's worth it when very few people will hit this limit and even then you can do it with scripts instead. > > Thanks again, > > > On Thu, May 30, 2013 at 08:49:05AM -0700, Jack Bates wrote: > >> I keep getting an error, "command too long" when I run: > >> > >> $ tmux new-session ... > >> > >> I wish that the tmux COMMAND_LENGTH was more than 2048. > >> > >> If tmux could handle commands of arbitrary length, up to something like > >> the maximum argument length for the system (ARG_MAX), that would be > >> cool.
