Description

Fairly sure I know the answer to this, but I was interested to know whether there's any way of avoiding resurrect showing the history -w ... commands in the terminal output. I'm using resurrect with continuum and as a result, every 60 minutes (as per my config), another command gets issued to all terminals without a program running. The result is that after a few hours, the contents of a pane are get pushed further into the scrollback, making it increasingly harder to discover what was happening in the pane.

Is there any way to for the plugin / tmux to issue the command to the shell without it being outputted?

I'm using the latest version from Git of this plugin, Tmux 1.9 and Bash as my shell.

Thanks for the plugin, it's awesome!

Research direction
Investigate how tmux resurrect issues `history w` commands. Check the plugin's source code in the `scripts/` directory, particularly `save.sh` or `continuum save.sh`. Look for ways to suppress command output in tmux or shell, such as using `tmux send keys N` or redirecting output to `/dev/null`. Consider adding a configuration option to toggle this behavior.
