byobu−select−session − select and connect to a byobu session
byobu−select−session is an application that lists the available screen sessions running on the system, and prompts the user to select one. The user also has the option to create a new Byobu session, or launch the default shell without Byobu.
If an invalid selection is chosen 3 times in a row, the user is connected to the youngest session.
By default, if only one session exists, the user is connected to that session, and if no sessions exist, a new session is created -- such that there is no interactive prompt in the normal behavior. However, some users may choose to always be prompted, by touching the file $BYOBU_CONFIG_DIR/.always-select.
Note that BYOBU_CONFIG_DIR=$HOME/.byobu.
Named sessions
that begin with a "." are "hidden" from
byobu−select−session(1). This is useful,
for instance, if you do not want a session to be
automatically selected at login. Example:
byobu −S .hidden
$BYOBU_CONFIG_DIR/.always-select
byobu(1),
screen(1)
