Reconnect to broken terminal session using tmux.

TMUX terminal sharing cross platform



# Reconnect to broken terminal session using tmux.
# Start the operation & If connection has been broken, just reconnect by typing
# tmux attach.


Here's an example.

tmux
make
......
Connection fails for some reason
Reconect

tmux ls
0: 1 windows (created Tue Aug 23 12:39:52 2011) [103x30]

Code:

tmux attach -t 0

Back in the tmux sesion!


tmux ls
0: 1 windows (created Fri Jul 23 10:36:30 2021) [80x24]
1: 1 windows (created Fri Jul 23 10:36:30 2021) [80x23] (attached)

Code:

tmux attach -t 2:0

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This will start tmux session if not already started else it will join an existing session

Just put this in your ~/.tmux.conf file:

# if run as "tmux attach", create a session if one does not already exist
new-session -n $HOST

If you run tmux attach and there is a session, then it will attach to that session (whether it's already attached or not). If there is not a session already then it will create one for you.
