> Tmux config is surprisingly unintuitive.

And sometimes you get some stray tmux process running in the background that somehow blocks it from updating the configuration until you find and kill every running tmux process. Really annoying.



Isn't that a simple matter of

  ps aux | grep tmux
  kill -9 12345

?


Yes, that is simple. Finding out the first time why it suddenly stopped updating the config - after it already worked multiple times minutes before that - is a different matter.


I prefer the nuclear option, which also gives you a bit of a gamble depending on your search string

    pgrep tmux | xargs kill -9


`pkill -9 tmux` (or `pkill -9 [t]mux` if you're doing it over ssh)
