Tmux viewport caused by multiple concurrent sessions

gnu-screentmux

When attaching to the same tmux sessions from multiple computers using ssh and tmux attach, my screen looks like:

-------------------------
$>              |........
                |........
                |........
                |........
                |........
-----------------........
.........................
.........................

I was wondering if there is a command to get rid of the viewport

Probably the width/height (colums/rows) of the "original" terminal form which you launched te tmux session is lower than that of the terminal you're attacching from. Personally I don't use tmux, but that happens to me with screen when I launch from a 80x25 terminal and then I attach from another terminal with 80x50 columns/rows.

Tmux equivalent of “screen -D -R”

Yes:

$ tmux attach -d || tmux new

-d is necessary to behave like screen -D, ie, detach everybody else.

Connect by ssh, then attach or create could be something like:

$ cat bin/stmux
#!/bin/sh
exec ssh -t $@ 'tmux attach -d || tmux new'

$ stmux my.remote.box

Quick switching between screen sessions

this is not possible with screen and there is no way to easily work around this limitation of screen. Screen sessions are independent and has no knowledge of other screen session running.

If you need this you can switch to tmux which does have this feature to awitch between sessions.
