[tmux] recreate the same session

I often find my self starting a tmux session and recreating the same windows and so on in it again and again. I recon, for me it is easiest to use tmuxp, which is a tmux session manager written in Python. There are others like Tmuxinator and Teamocil, but since they are written in Ruby, but I am fairly familiar with Python only and thus usually have already Python installed on my system, I opt for tmuxp. You can write a shell script too if you like a the third links demonstrates.

line and set the databse id as found in the active
configXYZ/dbvis.xml
file. Possibly you also need to set a value for
exec.schema
.
