What is the right way to launch tmux in Terminal.app on OS X
I have ...
if [ "$TMUX" = "" ]; then tmux; fi
... in my .zshrc which works great for ssh connections.
However, I have trouble with Terminal.app.
When I type exit, tmux closes, but I am left in an open window that says [exited].
I have to type exit again to close the window.
How do I invoke tmux in Terminal.app to avoid having to type exit twice?
macos tmux terminal.app

The way you're currently doing it, you need to exit again because you're running tmux as a child process of the shell.
IIRC, you need to replace the current shell process via exec instead, like so:
if [ "$TMUX" = "" ]; then exec tmux; fi

For someone stumbling upon it in the future - how I did it was as follows:
- Start Terminal.app
- Open Preferences
- Go to "Profile" -> "Shell"
- In the "Start" section select "Execute command" and enter
exec tmux(make sure run in own shell is also selected)
