Is there a way to create identifiable Byobu sessions so that when I've got multiple sessions running, the byobu-select-session menu gives me a list of sessions I can recognize, as opposed to non-descript tmux port numbers?
In an ideal world, it would be great to be able to both start a session giving it a name and to modify such a session to change a name if it's already running? Is this possible, how?
Edit 1: Some further details:
- I'm using tmux as the backend and don't especially want to switch back to screen.
- I've now tried starting a session with
byobu -S "Name"
to no avail :-(
Edit 2: Some discoveries:
- I've now discovered a partial answer in using tmux native commands:
tmux rename-session <current-name> <new-name>
renames an existing session andtmux new -s session_name
creates a new names session. I'm surprisedbyobu -S "name"
isn't liked totmux new -s session_name
for byobu with a tmux backend.
byobu -S your-session-name
? See how to run multiple byobu sessions at once?. I don't know whether it works if byobu uses tmux instead of screen.byobu -S
to no avail. It appears to work with tmux as the backend... Is there anything similar for tmux?byobu new -s your-session-name
might work for tmux backend.byobu rename-session -t <original_name> <new_name>
