Tmux isn't a right tool. It was just under the hand and I wanted to
hammer our basics fast. I started with unix fifos, but I'm not that
familiar with plan9port and did run into some issues e.g.
mkfifo ebin
tail -f ebin | edbrowse
echo "do something" > ebin
Would send EOF to edbrowse closing the pipe (tail from p9p). I'll go
slowly back to this approach. Some operations like blocking the read,
till edbrowse is done (currently tmux wait-for) are very easy to do in
rc (this isn't working script, just overview):
echo "do something" > ebin
sleep 60 &
echo "!kill $apid" > ebin
wait $apid
cat ebout > acmein
This is even better, since there is guarantee sleep will exit after
some time.
So yes, I plan to remove dependency on tmux, but I'm looking more into
plain pipes than other approaches.
