How to start logging using command line..

[rameshsanth]

I have a tmux script that creates a new window, runs bunch of CLI's I want to log all the console output in a custom log file.

I modified toggle_logging.sh to accept a session name as an argument. It was a fairly simple bash change (attached below) I succeeded in turning on logging using below CLI.. send "tmux run-shell ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-logging/scripts/toggle_logging.sh" ENTER \;

However, the above CLI doesn't accept any arguments. Hence i couldn't create a custom log file. I tried doing this but no logging is happening.

         send source\ ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-logging/scripts/toggle_logging.sh ENTER\; \
         send start_pipe_pane\ sim_run_logfile ENTER \; \

Here is the script change i did to pass a filename arg

The script worked.. the file was created in my home directory, not current directory.. I didn't look for the log file in correct place
