this is not picking up my claude code session automatically

[BTruer]

Running cc on a particular terminal and then on another terminal opened up abtop and its not finding the claude

Hi @BTruer, thanks for reporting!

abtop discovers Claude Code sessions by reading ~/.claude/sessions/{PID}.json files. These session files were introduced in a relatively recent version of Claude Code.

Could you check the following?

1. Claude Code version: Run claude --version — session file support requires a recent version (1.0.17+). If you're on an older version, please update with claude update.

2. Session file exists: While Claude Code is running, check if the session file was created:

   ls ~/.claude/sessions/

   You should see a .json file with the PID of your running Claude Code process.

3. Custom config directory: If you have CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR set to a non-default path, make sure it's set consistently in both terminals.

4. OS: Which OS are you on? (macOS / Linux)

Most likely, updating Claude Code to the latest version should fix this. Let me know what you find!
