I am trying to shift from using VNC to tmux. My tmux keeps crashing at least once in a week and I am clueless why this happens. VNC rarely crashed and this weekly crash is a strong detrimental for me to completely switch.
Is there a way I can find out the reason tmux crashes ? My .tmux.conf is pretty simple
#Don't show the green ribbon below
set -g status off
#Select panes by mouse click
set -g mouse-select-pane on
#enable scrolling by mouse in tmux
set-window-option -g mode-mouse on
#enable resize of pane by mouse
set -g mouse-resize-pane on
I use iterm2 with terminal mode set to 256 color and heavily use vim plugins and colorschemes(Lid, nerdtree, tagbar, indentLine, molokai etc.,). To adjust terminal color I had following setting in my .vimrc but I am not sure if these are in any way related to tmux crash
set t_ut=
set t_Co=256
Also, I have enabled mouse in my vim set mouse=a
Is there a way to find why my tmux session is crashing ?

I found this in the readme on the tmux github page.
"For debugging, running tmux with -v or -vv will generate server and client log files in the current directory."
In other words, unless you explicitly told it to log, it won't.
