Where do I find bashrc file in tmux?
As far as I know, by default tmux runs a login shell. When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile. So you have to put source ~/.bashrc in one of those files. This is related to the Bash init files. By default, ~/.bashrc is used in an interactive, non-login shell.
What should I type when tmux does not load?
When tmux starts or opens a new window, it does not load my .profile or .bashrc. I end up typing . ~/.bashrc every time.
What’s the best way to load bashrc file?
The best solution is to change the loading requirement of ~/.bashrc as interactive only, which is exactly what some distros, like Ubuntu, are doing. This should be the solution you desire. And I recommend every Bash user setup this in the profile. Update: the above settings is copied from Ubuntu.
How to start a shell script that starts tmux session?
If you want to keep your tmux session alive after starting some commands, a possible solution is to start a bash with an init file: tmux new -d -s mysession “bash –init-file foo.script” where foo.script would contain your commands. Alternatively, you can feed the command to the shell directly from the command line:
How to spawn a shell instance in tmux?
In other contexts I might suggest using a small Expect program to spawn an instance of $SHELL, feed it the keystrokes, then use interact to tie the tty to the expect -spawned $SHELL. tmuxinator lets you specify this with a nice yaml file.
Is there a way to stuff input into tmux?
You really want a way to stuff (that’s a technical term 🙂 once upon a time it was TIOCSTI for “terminal ioctl (): stuff input”) input for the shell into the window. With tmux, it looks like you use buffers for this.
Can a tmux session be linked to a throwaway session?
If both of these things are true, it will create a special tmux session called ssh-$USER (where $USER is your username on the server) and drop you into a throwaway session linked to ssh-$USER. This linkage lets you change windows independently among multiple logins, but all windows themselves are shared.
