My approach to tmux session management is the following tm() { if [ -z $1 ]; then tmux list-sessions return fi tmux detach -s $1 2> /dev/null tmux attach-session -t $1 2> /dev/null || tmux new-session -s $1 } _tm() { local word completions word="$1" sessions=`tmux list-sessions 2> /dev/null` [ $? -ne 0 ] && return completions=`echo "$sessions" | cut -d ':' -f1` reply=( "${(f)completions}" ) } compctl -K _tm tm I don't find I need to persist sessions, I just want a quick way to switch between them. This gives me a tm command that autocompletes session names and creates new sessions if they don't exist. It also detaches existing clients since I only ever connect once and this way I don't have to deal with issues of differing terminal sizes.
