DESCRIPTION

10       byobu-select-session  is an application that lists the available screen
11       sessions running on the system, and prompts the  user  to  select  one.
12       The  user  also has the option to create a new Byobu session, or launch
13       the default shell without Byobu.
14
15       If an invalid selection is chosen 3 times in a row, the  user  is  con‐
16       nected to the youngest session.
17
18       By  default,  if only one session exists, the user is connected to that
19       session, and if no sessions exist, a new session  is  created  --  such
20       that  there  is no interactive prompt in the normal behavior.  However,
21       some users may choose to always  be  prompted,  by  touching  the  file
22       $BYOBU_CONFIG_DIR/.always-select.
23
24       Note that BYOBU_CONFIG_DIR=$HOME/.byobu.
25
26       Named   sessions   that   begin   with   a   "."   are   "hidden"  from
27       byobu-select-session(1).  This is useful, for instance, if you  do  not
28       want a session to be automatically selected at login.  Example:
29         byobu -S .hidden
