Create new tmux session from inside a tmux session

Question

I\'m writing a shell script that creates / attaches or switches to a given session, depending on whether one is inside tmux and the session exists.

I\'ve got everything

Answer 1

Using this works for me:

TMUX= tmux new-session -d -s name
tmux switch-client -t name

The TMUX= on the first line is required so tmux doesn't throw a sessions should be nested with care, unset $TMUX to force message.
