This came up on IRC, where user concatime was asking why
mosh -p PORT NAME 'tmux attach -t irc'
didn't work. (The correct command ismosh -p PORT NAME -- tmux attach -t irc
). I realized that it's hard to debug this because mosh-server prints an error message for the failed exec, but exits immediately, and normally mosh-client clears the screen on exit.This adds a 3-second delay before exit, after
exec()
fails, so the error is visible.
