byobu-select-session(1) 					       byobu						   byobu-select-session(1)

NAME

       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
