Description
When connected to a server via ssh, and the server doesn't have the
proper terminfo, tmux will fail with 'unsupported terminal' errors.
These errors are not surfaced by the scripts, e.g. check_status,
so they result in either silent failures or don't work at all.
This can be resolved via running
infocmp -x xterm-kitty | ssh YOUR-SERVER -- tic -x -and replacing
xterm-kittywith whatever is appropriate, or by settingTERM=xterm-256color in the ssh config, but that is not obvious to do
when presented with silent failures.
This commit sets
TERM=screenfor all non-interactive tmux calls,which resolves the issue. Note that the
consolecommand does notset this, as that is an interactive shell, and the user's terminfo
should be passed.
