It looks to me like I've merely swapped left and right panes because,
presumably, I thought it looked better that way.
And I've removed the clock - that's one way you could reclaim some screen
space.
I seem to be a little tired, and not fully functional, right now, but you could
do this (for example), like this:
tmux set -g status-right "#22T"
The relevant section of the man page is:
status-left string
Display string to the left of the status bar. string
will be passed through strftime(3) before being used. By
default, the session name is shown. string may contain
any of the following special character sequences:
Character pair Replaced with
#(shell-command) First line of the command's
output
#[attributes] Colour or attribute change
#H Hostname of local host
#h Hostname of local host without
the domain name
#F Current window flag
#I Current window index
#D Current pane unique identifier
#P Current pane index
#S Session name
#T Current pane title
#W Current window name
## A literal ‘#’
As I say, I don't seem to be firing on all cylinders right now, but it doesn't
look to me like the "commands being run" are shown where you say they are, not
on the far right, at least.
I think they're shown in the *middle* section of the status bar.
Where above you have said your display shows:
[0] 0:bash 1:bash- 2:bash*
Then the first "0", in square brackets, indicates the name of the current
session. Try this by opening a new terminal and running `tmux new-s -s
test_sess`.
I think that "bash" is the name of the command being run in each of your
sessions.
You might like to try running the attached countdown.pl script and see how "the
command being run" is displayed.
HTH,
Stroller.
