Starting byobu with a config file, but getting all the byobu niceties, too?

Okay, there's a couple of ways you can do this...

  1. You can put your customizations in ~/.byoburc, which is sourced last
  2. You can set an environment variable, BYOBU_WINDOWS=/path/to/a/config, and then run byobu. Many people use this to start different byobu sessions with different windows open at launch. For more information here, see the WINDOWS section of the manpage at: http://manpg.es/byobu.1
