I don't think it makes much difference really. Might be slightly quicker to login if you make tmux your shell but not sure it will be noticeable. And it is a little harder to fix if it breaks. If you don't have root or don't have console access to the box, I would go with the shell profile way. Otherwise it probably doesn't make much difference.

I can: keep my login shell set to /bin/zsh and put the following in my .zshrc: if [[ -z $TMUX ]]; then exec tmux new fi OR I can: set my login shell to /usr/bin/tmux and put the following in my .tmux.conf: set -g default-shell /bin/zsh Are there any pros/cons to one way or the other? What are folk's opinions on the matter? Thanks! -m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tmux-users" group.
