daemon_options

Allows configuring the multiplexer (mux) server and how it places itself into the background to run as a daemon process.

You should not normally need to configure this setting; the defaults should be sufficient in most cases.

There are three fields supported:

• pid_file - specify the location of the pid and lock file. The default location is $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/wezterm/pid on X11/Wayland systems, or $HOME/.local/share/wezterm/pid
• stdout - specifies where a log of the stdout stream from the daemon will be placed. The default is $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/wezterm/stdout on X11/Wayland systems, or $HOME/.local/share/wezterm/stdout.
• stderr - specifies where a log of the stderr stream from the daemon will be placed. The default is $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/wezterm/stderr on X11/Wayland systems, or $HOME/.local/share/wezterm/stderr.

return {
  daemon_options = {
    stdout = "/some/where/stdout",
    stderr = "/some/where/stderr",
    pid_file = "/some/where/pid_file",
  }
}
