display message if a specific session/window/pane is killed/exited?

[Sivaram Neelakantan]

How do I set a hook/condition that if named session is killed or
exited or detached I show a message to the user. Say I have
session=="help" and if the user tries to exit or kill, I show a
warning message.

Where do you want to show this warning message? Once the client is detached, tmux can't write anything else to the terminal.

good point. In my case,it's the current active session pane. Since
that killed session was invoked through popup in an existing session,
if it gets killed, the current session should see a message.

And after-kill-session or one of the other hooks with display-message doesn't work? You will probably need to specify the session or client to display-message with -t (obviously the one you want to display on, not the one you are killing).

Well, I want the message only after a specific session is closed or
killed. I don't see how the hook can check for a specific session to
trigger in the man page.

You can use the hook_session format variable and "if -F" or give it to a shell script?
