io.github.libtmux.Server.Server.ifShell(condition: String, whenTrue: String) -> void
```

Runs one tmux command or another, according to whether a shell command succeeds.

<p>The choosing happens inside tmux rather than here, which is the point: the condition and
both outcomes go out as one request, so nothing can change between asking and acting.

## Parameters

- `condition` (String) — a shell command, judged by its exit status
- `whenTrue` (String) — the tmux command to run when the condition succeeds
