I have tmux 1.8 built on a cluster I use at work. There are 2 front end nodes,
and I'd like for both of them to see the same tmux sessions. Reading the man
pages, I see that I should be able to set an environment variable,
`TMUX_TMPDIR`, that directs tmux where to place its temporary files. However,
this isn't working for me.
gfairchild@mp-fe2 ~> tmux -V
tmux 1.8
gfairchild@mp-fe2 ~> echo $TMUX_TMPDIR
/turquoise/users/gfairchild/tmux
gfairchild@mp-fe2 ~> tmux #use tmux and detach
[detached]
gfairchild@mp-fe2 ~> tmux ls
0: 1 windows (created Wed Sep 25 09:00:22 2013) [316x74]
gfairchild@mp-fe2 ~> cd tmux/
gfairchild@mp-fe2 ~/tmux> ls -la
total 8
drwxrwxr-x 2 gfairchild gfairchild 4096 Sep 25 08:40 .
drwx------ 6 gfairchild gfairchild 4096 Sep 25 09:00 ..
gfairchild@mp-fe2 ~> cd /tmp/
gfairchild@mp-fe2 /tmp> ls -la | grep gfairchild
drwx------ 2 gfairchild gfairchild 4096 Sep 25 09:00 tmux-22383
So, `TMUX_TMPDIR` is set to a subdirectory of my home directory. I open tmux,
do some stuff, detach it, but tmux isn't using the directory specified to store
the session. Is there some other setting I need to set for tmux to use
`TMUX_TMPDIR`? If so, that should be clarified in the man page.
