+=====Start tmux with several windows with commands by default=====
+Store the below in your ~/.tmux.conf:
+<code>
+# Override the default-client-command to 'attach' so it attaches to the session we are about to start (instead of a session after that).
+# default-client-command does not exist in all tmux version. It works on OpenBSD, but not on Devuan 6.0.0
+set-option -g default-client-command attach
+# Don't kill windows on exit of the command that's running in them.
+# Then you can use C-b-: and :respawn-window to restart the window with the command.
+set-option -g remain-on-exit on
+new-session -s DEFAULT top
+new-window radeontop
+new-window
+new-window mc
+new-window
