All,
I was interested in making an application that uses tmux as a display
for a program - ie: one pane controls a process and the others display
logs and statuses. In other words, I'd like to have the program write
to the other pane's ptys with the various messages associated with the
program.
However, I was running into an issue: how do I figure out which panes
have which ptys?
In order to do this correctly, I'd need to know windows 1, pane 1 has
pty /dev/pts/13, windows 1 pane 2 has pty /dev/pts5, etc. etc, so I
could redirect the output correctly.
I suppose I could script up interacting with the other panes and call
tty on them, but I was looking for something more concise, something
like
tmux pty-list
which would display the list of ptys associated with each pane. Or
perhaps better yet, a generic command:
tmux run-pane-command "tty"
which would run the same command (tty) on each pane for a given
session and report back the output to the panel where the command was
run, along with a header for each pane showing where the command was
run, ie:
window #1 pane #1: /dev/pts/13
window #1 pane #2: /dev/pts/5
etc. etc.
If run inside of a tmux session, it would operate on the active
session, if run outside, it would need to have a session given to it
in the form of -t.
How difficult would this be to implement? Or is there a command that
does this already that I am unaware of?
Thanks much,
Ed
