Package: tmux
Version: 1.8-1
Severity: normal
The -q option intended for quiet operation does not appear
to be working in the version of tmux currently in sid (what
I am using). For example, the has-session argument for tmux
is commonly used in scripts with -q as such:
$ tmux -q has-session -t existingsession
$
This would be the expected behavior, with an exit 0 status,
and this does work. However, if I perform the command on a
session target that doesn't exist, I get:
$ tmux -q has-session -t nonexistant
session not found: nonexistant
$
The exit status is 1 as would be expected, so the has-session
function itself works. It is just the -q that seems to be
ignored, since that should've been a silent operation. While
this bug is not major (scripts still work), it does create a
noisy annoyance.
Other messages such as tmux warning you about the creation
of nested sessions also occur, even when -q has been used
there as well.
I do not know if this bug is present only in Debian or is
also present upstream. I checked the bug reports on tmux's
SourceForge page and did not see a ticket.

Ok, cool. Since you agree that this is not a bug, and as I don't want to
keep this report around forever, I'm closing it instead of marking it
wontfix.
Thanks,
