Freeze and thaw tmux and/or terminal sessions

sessionterminaltmux

I would like to be able to freeze and thaw tmux sessions. That is, to take a complex set of session state, persist it, and bring it back from some persistent store later. Essentially, git stash for terminal session state. Does anybody know of a way to do this?

CryoPID is close to being able to do this, I'm not aware of any others.

GNU Screen and Tmux: tips and tricks

This may be a bit simple for this crowd, but I found it useful to add this to the end of .profile, so that when I log in remotely via ssh, I get to read the MOTD, then switch to screen.

if [ -n "$SSH_TTY" ]
then
        read -p "Press <ENTER> to continue." enterkey
        exec /usr/bin/screen -D -R
fi

Run command in detached tmux session

The command is send. send is a key sequence, so treat it accordingly (e.g. you'll probably want ENTER). The target is specified with -t. You may want foo.0 or foo.1 depending on the pane you wish to hit.

tmux send -t foo.0 ls ENTER

send is short for send-keys, which is located in the man pages, but perhaps a bit difficult to find in that mile of text.
