#!/bin/bash

# Tmux launcher

# See:

# Modified version of a script orginally found at:
# http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-836006-start-0.html
#

# Works because bash automatically trims by assigning to variables and by
# passing arguments
trim() { echo $1; }

if [[ -z "$1" ]]; then
echo "Specify session name as the first argument"
exit
fi

# Only because I often issue `ls` to this script by accident
if [[ "$1" == "ls" ]]; then
tmux ls
exit
fi

base_session="$1"
# This actually works without the trim() on all systems except OSX
tmux_nb=$(trim `tmux ls | grep "^$base_session" | wc -l`)
if [[ "$tmux_nb" == "0" ]]; then
echo "Launching tmux base session $base_session ..."
tmux new-session -s $base_session

# Make sure we are not already in a tmux session
if [[ -z "$TMUX" ]]; then
# Kill defunct sessions first
old_sessions=$(tmux ls 2>/dev/null | egrep "^[0-9]{14}.*[0-9]+\)$" | cut -f 1 -d:)

# Session is is date and time to prevent conflict
