tmux

If I run tmux as root, it runs normally and fully functional. I created a couple users, and it will not run as any of the users.

create session failed: : No such file or directory

I checked the outside $TERM is xterm and inside $TERM is screen as FAQs suggest that is most common cause of problems.

I've used tmux regularly on many different systems, but I on this VPS I can't figure out what's up... A little help, please?

EDIT: strace output

In an ideal world, it would be great to be able to both start a session giving… >>> More

I'm not really clear with my question here, let me rephrase it : I've setup a launch_workspace.sh to launch directly tmux with 5 different commands loaded. Here is my current content : #!/bin/sh tmux new-session -d -s scube -n 'vim' "vim" tmux new-window -t scube:2 -n 'server' "$SHELL -c 'script/rails… >>> More
