You need to either send the cd to the pane with send-keys or run latest tmux
and use splitw -c.

Hello,
Hopefully this is the correct forum for this question, if not please accept my
apology.
I am trying to write a bash script to:
· Start tmux and create a window
· Split the window into 4 panes
· In each pane ‘cd’ to the specified directory and list files
Everything works except the changing of directories although the change
directory on line 15 does work.
I have implemented this basic idea using tmux windows but I thought that panes
would be a more usable solution.
When I exit the session an error is show on the command line that path used for
the ‘cd’ does not exist. It does exist if I try it from the command line which
leads me to believe its got something to do with the way I am trying to reach
from inside the pane.
I’ve poked around on some forums and have seen references to ‘send-keys’ in
which commands like ‘tail’ are used, but that does not seem to work for the
‘cd’ command.
I don’t see anything in the man page about needing to treat shell commands in
the panes differently.
The ‘cd’ commands work as expected if I execute them manually once the panes
are created by the script.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Steven Wright
