Linuxgsm: [FEATURE REQUEST] setting the tmux dimension at launch

[TechNZ]

currently LGSM has no way to specify the dimensions of new tmux sessions, and as such spawns detached sessions @ 80x23.

at the moment i have only found 2 ways to remedy this, either modifying the command_start.sh file to include -x and -y, this works but is overwritted when when LGSM updates this function.

the other method i found is to create a simple bash script to act as a shim for the tmux command, this works but with some games, permission errors can arise.

im not sure on the exact reason behind the permission problem, however i have only noticed it with arma3 so far, tf2 seems unphased by it.

so long story short, can we have the ability to set the detached sessions width and height at session start, either by a variable in the lgsm script, or even a system wide variable.

Need more context.

Why is it that your tmux, or lgsm for that matter, NEEDS to be remedied from this default behavior?

[TechNZ]

My apologies, i should have been more detailed.
Without setting the size at session creation, there is no way to resize the pane without physically opening and attaching to the pane.

This makes it very annoying for anyone attempting to query the server console using "tmux capture-pane", as every time the pane is created (at session start or restart) the size defaults back to 80x23

In my case this is for a simple web UI, but im sure that other people have other reasons for querying the pane contents.

Please see the attached pictures for comparisons of a default 80x23 session and a 104x23 session

please ignore, have created a pull request with this functionality.

Nice web interface btw. I would be very interested in seeing the code for this :)

[TechNZ]

the code is a wee bit messy as i usually code for internal use only, but im sure i could get a git setup for it.

[dgibbs64]

Yeah that would be good. It looks interesting and im sure there would be people interested in playing with that. :)

@dgibbs64 i will be pushing it into https://github.com/TechNZ/LinuxGSM-WebUI after work tonight once i have done a little bit of work removing some of the sensitive data.

[dgibbs64]

@TechNZ nice one 👍

[derklompi]

Faced some problems @TechNZ ?

[TechNZ]

got busy with work and preparing to move house, have tomorrow off so will get the rest of the WebUI up, next project i want to do is a full feature WebUI including installer and basic configuration functionality, but not finding th etime to devote to it at the moment.

[derklompi]

Thanks for the info and good luck with the house moving then^^

Ping me if you want a hand, I'm pretty good at packaging releases :)

[dgibbs64]

Any updates on this? Placing in Waiting response.

Isn't that already implemented? I remember seing width and so on in tmux start commands.
Maybe we should add the variables to config files now.

[dgibbs64]

I think it might be but I cant remember. Not sure if there is a requirement to add variables
