I’m trying to make a Bash script that opens tmux and runs a few lines of commands and then detach it so I end up in my terminal after it’s done. How do I solve it? Tried everything.

≈#!/bin/bash
cd ~/data
mkdir $1

This is what I got so far. When running my Bash script I type in:

myScript folder_name https://myurl.com

And now I wanna start a tmux session and run:

screamingfrogseospider  \
--crawl $2  \
--headless  \
--save-crawl  \
--output-folder ~/data/$1  \
--timestamped-output \

But how do I make a script that opens up tmux and runs these lines and closes also runs tmux detached so I end up in my terminal window?

  • What research did you do? Did you research how to start tmux with a custom command on this forum? What did the research resulted in? – KamilCuk May 06 '21 at 06:43

  • `tmux attach`, `tmux detach` will help you – mattb May 06 '21 at 08:07
  • the problem is that if i run tmux attach inmy bash file the rest av dthe scripts don´t run. – Sonlard Berglund May 11 '21 at 11:05
