Create New Tmux Session From Inside A Tmux Session


Answer :

The quickest way (assuming you use ctrl-b as your command prefix) is:



ctrl-b :new


To create a new session, then 



ctrl-b s


to interactively select and attach to the session.



How to create the script



This script will check if a session exists. If session does not exist create new session and attach to it. If session does exist nothing happens and we attach to that session. Feel free to replace `~/development' with project name.



$ touch ~/development && chmod +x ~/development



# ~/development

tmux has-session -t development
if [ $? != 0 ]
then
  tmux new-session -s development
fi
tmux attach -t development


New session from terminal



Let's create two detached sessions, list them, attach to one and then from within tmux cycle through sessions.



tmux new -s name -d works from inside tmux because we're creating a new detached session. Otherwise you'll get a nesting error.



$ tmux new -s development -d
$ tmux new -s foo -d
$ tmux ls
> development: 1 windows (created Wed Jan 13 11:31:38 2016) [204x54]
> foo: 1 windows (created Wed Jan 13 11:31:38 2016) [204x54]
$ tmux attach -t
$ tmux ls
> development: 1 windows (created Wed Jan 13 11:31:38 2016) [204x54] (attached)
> foo: 1 windows (created Wed Jan 13 11:31:38 2016) [204x54]


New session from within tmux



We are now inside or better known as attached to our target session. If we try to create a new session while attached it will result in a nesting error.



$ tmux new -s bar
> sessions should be nested with care, unset $TMUX to force


To solve this we create a new detached session. e.g.,



$ tmux new -s bar -d
$ tmux ls
> development: 1 windows (created Wed Jan 13 11:31:38 2016) [204x54] (attached)
> foo: 1 windows (created Wed Jan 13 11:31:38 2016) [204x54]
> bar: 1 windows (created Wed Jan 13 17:19:35 2016) [204x54]


Cycle (switch) Sessions




  • Prefix ( previous session

  • Prefix ) next session



note: Prefix is Ctrl-bby default. You can bind Prefix to Ctrl-a and in Mac OSX you can change Caps Lock to ctrl system preferences > keyboard > modifier keys



Attach to a session using command mode while inside tmux



Trying to attach to a session without detaching will result in an error.



$ tmux attach -t development
> sessions should be nested with care, unset $TMUX to force


Instead use command mode Prefix : then type attach -t session_name and hit enter.



Using this works for me:



TMUX= tmux new-session -d -s name
tmux switch-client -t name


The TMUX= on the first line is required so tmux doesn't throw a sessions should be nested with care, unset $TMUX to force message.

Converting A String To Int In Groovy

Answer : Use the toInteger() method to convert a String to an Integer , e.g. int value = "99".toInteger() An alternative, which avoids using a deprecated method (see below) is int value = "66" as Integer If you need to check whether the String can be converted before performing the conversion, use String number = "66" if (number.isInteger()) { int value = number as Integer } Deprecation Update In recent versions of Groovy one of the toInteger() methods has been deprecated. The following is taken from org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.StringGroovyMethods in Groovy 2.4.4 /** * Parse a CharSequence into an Integer * * @param self a CharSequence * @return an Integer * @since 1.8.2 */ public static Integer toInteger(CharSequence self) { return Integer.valueOf(self.toString().trim()); } /** * @deprecated Use the CharSequence version * @see #toInteger(CharSequence) */ @Deprecated public static Integer toInteger(String self) { return toInteg

"Cannot Create Cache Directory /home//.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org/, Or Directory Is Not Writable. Proceeding Without Cache"

Answer : if anyone pass through here, this is shorter solution: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.composer it seems to me the group information is missing in your command sudo chown -R <user> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org Shoud be sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org But to avoid other permission issues, I would rather advise: sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache (you'll need access to other folders in there) and sudo chown <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer To make sure your user has permissions enough on the global composer folder. Mind the missing recursion so the user don't own keys created by root. If you need to find out the group: groups <user>

Android How Can I Convert A String To A Editable

Answer : As you probably found out, Editable is an interface so you cannot call new Editable() . However an Editable is nothing more than a String with Spannables, so use SpannableStringBuilder: Editable editable = new SpannableStringBuilder("Pass a string here"); If you only want to change the Spannables, never the text itself, you can use a basic SpannableString. Use Editable.Factory.getInstance().newEditable(str) From the android documentation: Returns a new SpannedStringBuilder from the specified CharSequence. You can override this to provide a different kind of Spanned.
