respawn_pane

TypeScript

Start a pane’s configured process; accepts no command payload. Restart a pane’s command in place, keeping the pane and its id. Use to recover a pane whose process died, rather than killing and re-splitting.

Replace a still-running process. Default false.
paneId required · string
Stable pane id, e.g. %1.
startDirectory optional · string
Working directory for the restarted command. Defaults to the pane's.
