Hi
Why do you need the session name? If you omit it from -t to any command then
tmux try to detect the the current session itself.
Not that I don't believe there are reasons to want it, but I haven't come
across any yet.
You can always do something like:
tmux ls|head -$(echo $TMUX|awk -F, '{print $3 + 1}')|tail -1|cut -d: -f1
But this will be just as unreliable as STY is.
The session name and window name and a few other bits are not part of
the standard options.
The best way I can see would be to have a -s flag to display-message to display
the message to stdout instead of a client status line, then you could do:
tmux display -s "#S"
And it would give you tmux's idea of the current session (which is normally
accurate inside tmux so long as it can retrieve the slave pty name).
