Everyday I launch a bunch of urxvtc -e tmux.
I am trying to find a way to override urxvt X window title ("tmux") with the current tmux session name set via :rename-session session_name.
Does any of you guys achieved that ??
Thanks !

Try adding the following to your ~/.tmux.conf file.
# Turn on window titles
set -g set-titles on
# Set window title string
# #H Hostname of local host
# #I Current window index
# #P Current pane index
# #S Session name
# #T Current window title
# #W Current window name
# # A literal ‘#’
set -g set-titles-string '#S:#I.#P #W'
# Automatically set window title
setw -g automatic-rename

Hmm, it does not seem to be enough. It keeps displaying this boring "tmux". – Bathz – 2012-05-31T05:00:28.263
Ok, thanks having put me on the correct way. You first need to
set -g set-titles on. Then you can customize theset-titles-stringif you like. – Bathz – 2012-05-31T05:54:00.913To be clear, if you include this to your answer I'll accept it, for posterity :). – Bathz – 2012-05-31T06:05:15.173
okay - I updated my answer and added some info on the character sequences – Jeremy W – 2012-05-31T14:21:25.977
