The Basics Commands List tmux sessions: $ tmux ls tip: 6 windows (created Thu ...) [80x24] main: 10 windows (created Thu ...) [117x55] (attached) 2: 1 windows (created Sun ...) [117x55] 3: 4 windows (created Wed ...) [117x55] Reattach to an existing session named "tip": $ tmux attach-session -t tip If only one session is running, 'tmux a' is enough. If you haven't named your sessions, 'tmux a -t 2' works.
