tmux-safekill
A tmux plugin that attempts to safely kill processes before exiting a tmux session. Works with TPM
Usage
In tmux, use the command:
<prefix> C
The plugin will attempt to recursively end processes it knows about (right now: vim, man, less, bash, zsh, and ssh). It defaults to Ctrl-C for processes it doesn't know about. Ultimately, the session should have exited on its own after all child processes are gone.
It is also possible to close only the panes in the current window:
<prefix> Q
Warning: this is kind of a big hammer. If you have any sensitive processes, make sure they are dealt with before running this :-)
Installation with Tmux Plugin Manager (recommended)
Add plugin to the list of TPM plugins in .tmux.conf:
set -g @plugin "jlipps/tmux-safekill"
Hit prefix + I to fetch the plugin and source it.
The key binding should now be available
Manual Installation
Clone the repo:
$ git clone https://github.com/jlipps/tmux-safekill ~/clone/path
Add this line to the bottom of .tmux.conf:
run-shell ~/clone/path/safekill.tmux
Reload TMUX environment:
# type this in terminal
$ tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf
Configuration
Support the following environment variables which could influence how it proceeds in quiting the processes.
Set it up by creating a new file ~/.bashrc_tmux_safekill then add the following line per setting you desire to have (you don't have to manually source it,
it will be automatically picked up internally).
export <CONFIG-NAME>=<VALUE>
wheres you substitue <CONFIG-NAME>, and <VALUE> according to the following
TMUX_SAFEKILL_FORCE-1to attempt quiting processes which support force quit,0or other values to just normally quit
