Save & Restore Hooks

Hooks allow to set custom commands that will be executed during session save and restore. Most hooks are called with zero arguments, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Currently the following hooks are supported:

@resurrect-hook-post-save-layout

Called after all sessions, panes and windows have been saved.

Passed single argument of the state file.
@resurrect-hook-post-save-all

Called at end of save process right before the spinner is turned off.
@resurrect-hook-pre-restore-all

Called before any tmux state is altered.
@resurrect-hook-pre-restore-pane-processes

Called before running processes are restored.

Examples

Here is an example how to save and restore window geometry for most terminals in X11. Add this to .tmux.conf:

set -g @resurrect-hook-post-save-all 'eval $(xdotool getwindowgeometry --shell $WINDOWID); echo 0,$X,$Y,$WIDTH,$HEIGHT > $HOME/.tmux/resurrect/geometry'
set -g @resurrect-hook-pre-restore-all 'wmctrl -i -r $WINDOWID -e $(cat $HOME/.tmux/resurrect/geometry)'
