byobu allows users to create multiple sessions. Once there are multiple sessions, how to kill an entire session?
If there is a session foo
with 3 windows and bar
with 4 windows, to kill session foo
, user have to run CTRL+F6
three times in each window to kill an entire session. Is there a better alternative for it?
Best Answer
You can list byobu current sessions with:
byobu list-session
You should see something like this:
session_1: 1 windows (created Tue Feb 6 18:05:35 2018) [237x49] session_2: 1 windows (created Tue Feb 6 18:05:44 2018) [237x49] session_3: 1 windows (created Tue Feb 6 18:06:05 2018) [237x49]
The first word in every line is the session name.
So, to kill a single session you can do:
byobu kill-session -t <session_name>
To kill
session_2
in previous list, you can do:byobu kill-session -t session_2
