!This "tmssh" repository is no longer maintained!

Use tmux-xpanes instead.

xpanes --ssh command behaves like tmssh !

tmssh

SSH multiple servers over multiple tmux panes.

Features

• Split tmux's window into multiple panes and each one has ssh connection.
• It works even if the current shell is already in the tmux session.
• Off course, it works if the current shell is NOT in the tmux session.

Dependencies

• bash 4.x
• tmux 1.6 and more

The author has not confirmed other versions, but they may work.

Install

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/greymd/tmssh/master/tmssh -O /usr/local/bin/tmssh
$ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/tmssh

Usage

$ tmssh USER1@HOST1 USER2@HOST2 USER3@HOST3 ...

Use without messing up $PATH

$ ./tmssh USER1@HOST1 USER2@HOST2 USER3@HOST3 ...

Options

$ tmssh --help
Usage:
  tmssh [OPTIONS] [<USER NAME>@]<HOST NAME> [<USER NAME>@<HOST NAME> ...]

OPTIONS:
  -h --help                    Show this screen.
  -v --version                 Show version.
  -l --log[=<directory>]       Enable logging and store log files to ~/.tmssh-logs or given <directory>.
     --log-format=<FORMAT>     File name of log files follows given <FORMAT>.

Examples

• Create new window and separate it into two panes.

$ tmssh root@192.168.1.2 user@example.com

• Four panes.

$ tmssh host{1..4}

• Logging

With -l option, start to saving logs.

$ tmssh -l user1@host1 user1@host1

For example, following files will be created and each one is corresponding to each pane.

~/.tmssh-logs/user1@host1-1.log.2016-01-31_23-59-59.log
~/.tmssh-logs/user1@host1-2.log.2016-01-31_23-59-59.log

• Save log files to another directory.

$ tmssh -l --log=/tmp/logs user1@host1 user2@host2
/tmp/logs/user1@host1-1.log.2016-01-31_23-59-59.log
/tmp/logs/user2@host2-1.log.2016-01-31_23-59-59.log
will be created as their log files.

Share terminal sessions with others.

~/.tmssh-socket file will automatically be created when tmssh is used. Importing this socket file, different users can share their screens each other.

• user1

[user1@host] $ tmssh USER1@HOST1 USER2@HOST2 USER3@HOST3 ...

• user2

[user2@host] $ tmux -S /home/user1/.tmssh-socket attach

... then, user1 and user2 can share their screen each other.
