detach_all_clients ( self, keep_client: str | None = None, shell_command: str | None = None, ) → None method [source] ¶

Description#

tmux's -a always preserves one client; when keep_client is omitted, the most-recently-active client survives.

>>> with control_mode() as ctl:
...     server.detach_all_clients(keep_client=ctl.client_name)

Parameters

keep_client (str | None) # – Client to preserve (-t flag). All other clients on the server, regardless of which session they are attached to, are detached.
shell_command (str | None) # – Run a shell command on the detached client(s) after detach (-E flag).
