TMUXIE(1) Utility Commands TMUXIE(1)

tmuxie - terminal tmux(1) session handler ported from screenie.

tmuxie [-v|--version] [-h|--help] -j|--job jobname job

-v, --version

Shows tmuxie version and exits.

-j name job, --job name job

Run the given tmux job. Give it the respective name.

-h, --help

Display a brief usage summary and exit. Shows the current tmux prefix key (as defined in ~/.tmux.conf) and instructions for detaching from a session.

tmuxie is a small and lightweight tmux(1) frontend that is designed to be a session handler that simplifies the process of administrating detached jobs by providing an interactive menu. The tmux prefix shown in the menu and help is read from the user's ~/.tmux.conf file, if it has been changed from the default.

Please note that you can improve the quality of tmuxie by sending patches, comments, hints, ideas, bug, and test reports to the author.

tmuxie

Run in interactive mode.

tmuxie -j "System stat" "top"

Start a detached tmux session named System stat running top.

tmuxie -h

Display the help text and show which prefix key to use (for example, CTRL-b).

tmuxie was ported to tmux and enhanced a bit by Ron Guerin <ron@vnetworx.net> from screenie (for GNU screen) written by Marc O. Gloor <mgloor@fhzh.ch>. Marc was kind enough to allow it to be dual-licensed under the BSD and GPL licenses.
