[SOLVED] Starting newsbeuter at tmux start-up issue

I've been using screen at a pretty rudimentary level for a few years now. A couple of years ago it was recommended to me that I try tmux instead. I fiddled with tmux a bit but, since my usage is so basic, I decided it wasn't worth spending the time to try and translate all my screen usage into tmux. Now, a couple of years later, I've decided to try out tmux again. And, yes, I've looked at the wiki article.

The current issue I'm having is getting tmux to start up with the 4 windows I typically use in my screen session: I can only get 3 of those windows to open on start-up. The one that's not opening is the one in which I like to use my RSS reader of choice, newsbeuter. The relevant section of ~/.tmux.conf looks like this:

new  -n Alpine alpine
neww -n Bash1 bash
neww -n Bash2 bash
neww -n Newsbeuter newsbeuter
selectw -t 0

Can anyone explain to me why, when I run tmux attach -t 0, I get only 3 of the 4 windows I've specified in the config file? Thanks in advance for your inpuit.

Re: [SOLVED] Starting newsbeuter at tmux start-up issue

Nevermind--user error. Newbeuter was already running in a screen session and would not start a second instance without specification of an alternate cache file, My bad. And now, we rejoin the broadcast already in progress . . .
