How to start a server

I want to execute:

    tmux source-file ~/.tmux.diagnostics.conf

But when there is no server yet, I get:

    no server running on /tmp/tmux-1000/default

The reason I need it is that in a script that starts several programs I want to do:

    xfce4-terminal --maximize -T Diagnostics --execute tmux source-file ~/.tmux.diagnostics.conf

But that goes wrong when there is not yet a server.

Hi

You need to create at least one session in your config file, or change
the exit-empty option to off.

I tried adding:

    set-option -gs exit-empty                off                                                                                     But that did not work. I will look into it further.

For the moment I could just make sure there is at least one session before I start the script.
