A **Session** is like a Desktop.

A session holds one or more [[Ubuntu:tmux:Using tmux:Create a Window|Windows]]

----

===== Basic Un-Named Session =====

<code bash>
tmux
</code>

----

===== Name the Session =====

It is suggested to give a Session a Unique name.

This will allow this specific Session to be referred to in later commands.

<code bash>
tmux new -s a_session_name
</code>

displays:

<code bash>
sessions should be nested with care, unset $TMUX to force
</code>

<WRAP info>
**NOTE:** tmux does support Nested sessions, but this adds complexity.

For instance to create a new Window within a specific session, an additional **b** is needed:

<code bash>
<CTRL-b> + b + c
</code>

</WRAP>
