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
