Detached service manager

Start Jupyter and other long-running services in a detached session at login, and reattach later.
Then build a manager that keeps long-running services in a detached tmux
session.
libtmux drives a real tmux server from code. It gives you objects for the
server, its sessions, windows and panes. Documentation for every language
is at https://libtmux.org/en/.
Language: Python
Package: libtmux (PyPI)
Repository: https://github.com/tmux-python/libtmux
Read these before writing code:
- https://libtmux.org/en/py/latest/llms.txt
every page for Python, as a list
- https://libtmux.org/en/py/latest/docs.json
the same list with headings, as JSON
- https://libtmux.org/en/py/latest/reference/
the Python API reference
If you cannot fetch URLs, clone the repository above and read its README
and examples instead, or ask me to paste those pages in.
Set up first:
1. Report the tmux version with `tmux -V`. libtmux drives a real tmux, so
nothing below works without one. Stop and tell me if it is missing.
2. If this directory is not a Python project yet, start one:
uv init
Skip this in a project that already exists, and match what is here.
3. Add the dependency. libtmux 0.62.0 is the current release on PyPI.
uv add libtmux
Check https://pypi.org/project/libtmux/ if you need a different version.
If this project already uses pip, Poetry or PDM, add the dependency with
that tool instead: the package is the same.
4. Write the smallest program that proves the install works: connect to a
tmux server, create a session, confirm it is there, then kill it. Give
that server a socket of its own rather than using the default one, so
this never touches a tmux I am already running. Run it, and show me the
output and the files you added.
Rules for everything below:
- Use the reference above rather than guessing names. The ten libtmux
ports do not share spellings, and a name from another language will look
plausible and not exist.
- If the reference does not have something you expected, say so instead of
writing a call that does not exist.
- Follow the conventions already in this repository.
Detached service manager
What it does:
- Reads a small config listing services to run, each with a name, a working
directory and a command. Start with a Jupyter notebook server as the worked
example.
- Starts them in one detached session at login, one window per service, so
nothing depends on a terminal staying open.
- Is idempotent. Running it twice does not start a second copy of anything;
it reports what was already up and starts only what was missing.
- Restarts a service that has died, and tells me which one and when.
- Gives me a command to attach and look at any service's output.
Constraints:
- Decide whether a service is running by asking the tmux server what exists,
not by writing a PID file that outlives the process.
- A service that fails to start must be reported, not silently skipped.
- Say in a comment how this gets invoked at login on this platform, and why
detached is the right mode.

3. Add the dependency. libtmux has no stable release. 0.1.0.alpha.1 is the
newest prerelease on RubyGems, and the command below names it because the
resolver skips prereleases otherwise.

4. Write the smallest program that proves the install works: connect to a
tmux server, create a session, confirm it is there, then kill it. Give
that server a socket of its own rather than using the default one, so
this never touches a tmux I am already running. Run it, and show me the
output and the files you added.

writing a call that does not exist.

Detached service manager
What it does:
- Reads a small config listing services to run, each with a name, a working
directory and a command. Start with a Jupyter notebook server as the worked
example.
- Starts them in one detached session at login, one window per service, so
nothing depends on a terminal staying open.
- Is idempotent. Running it twice does not start a second copy of anything;
it reports what was already up and starts only what was missing.
- Restarts a service that has died, and tells me which one and when.
- Gives me a command to attach and look at any service's output.
Constraints:
- Decide whether a service is running by asking the tmux server what exists,
not by writing a PID file that outlives the process.
- A service that fails to start must be reported, not silently skipped.
- Say in a comment how this gets invoked at login on this platform, and why
detached is the right mode.
