Questions tagged [tmux]

tmux is a terminal multiplexer: it enables a number of terminals (or windows), each running a separate program, to be created, accessed, and controlled from a single screen. tmux may be detached from a screen and continue running in the background, then later reattached.

tmux is intended to be a simple, modern, BSD-licensed alternative to programs such as GNU screen.

When tmux is started it creates a new session with a single window and displays it on screen. A status line at the bottom of the screen shows information on the current session and is used to enter interactive commands.

A session is a single collection of pseudo terminals under the management of tmux. Each session has one or more windows linked to it. A window occupies the entire screen and may be split into rectangular panes, each of which is a separate pseudo terminal

Alert in tmux when a process completes

Can I set tmux to trigger an alert in a non-active window when a process completes? For example: I start a long build process. I would like to be notified when it completes, not each time it prints a status.
