  Eh, you don't need tmux hooks for that. Just mkfifo notify.pipe grep 'error' < notify.pipe | notify-macosx-or-whatever >/dev/null & compile-whatever | tee notify.pipe Edit: You can do this WAY more simply with bash >() pipes. compile | tee >(grep 'error' | notify >/dev/null)

    Sure, you dont NEED it, but then you don't need a lot of stuff. I guess the value comes from not having to remember all those commands, just enter the hooks in the config and you have those steps happening automatically for you.

      That's kinda what saving as build.sh is for. IMO tmux is much cooler when you do stuff like running commands in or sending text to a different window. Check out entr(1) for some sweet use cases that are much more fun than the hooks. That vimdiff thing ... I used it a few months ago when trying to replicate some complicated rollup.js compiler output options. Awesome, even though I own Kaleidoscope. http://entrproject.org/ http://entrproject.org/
