NAME¶
byobu-select-session - select and connect to a byobu session
DESCRIPTION¶
byobu-select-session is an application that lists the available screen
sessions running on the system, and prompts the user to select one. The user
also has the option to create a new Byobu session, or launch the default shell
without Byobu.
If an invalid selection is chosen 3 times in a row, the user is connected to the
youngest session.
By default, if only one session exists, the user is connected to that session,
and if no sessions exist, a new session is created -- such that there is no
interactive prompt in the normal behavior. However, some users may choose to
always be prompted, by touching the file $BYOBU_CONFIG_DIR/.always-select.
Note that BYOBU_CONFIG_DIR=$HOME/.byobu.
Named sessions that begin with a "." are "hidden" from
byobu-select-session(1). This is useful, for instance, if you do not
want a session to be automatically selected at login. Example:
byobu -S .hidden
FILES¶
$BYOBU_CONFIG_DIR/.always-select
