byobu-select-session - select and connect to a byobu session
DESCRIPTION
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
FILES
$BYOBU_CONFIG_DIR/.always-select
