Automatic Tmux start

Tmux is automatically started after the computer/server is turned on.

OS X

To enable this feature:

• put set -g @continuum-boot 'on' in tmux.conf
• reload tmux config with this shell command: $ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf

Next time the computer is started:

• Terminal.app window will open and resize to maximum size
• tmux command will be executed in the terminal window
• if "auto restore" feature is enabled, tmux will start restoring previous env

Config options:

• set -g @continuum-boot-options 'fullscreen' - terminal window will go fullscreen
• set -g @continuum-boot-options 'iterm' - start iTerm instead of Terminal.app
• set -g @continuum-boot-options 'iterm,fullscreen' - start iTerm in fullscreen

Linux

Help with this would be greatly appreciated. Please get in touch.
