Connect terminal IPython to existing notebook kernel

Question

Running ipython --existing resulted in:

[TerminalIPythonApp] CRITICAL | Unrecognized flag: '--existing'

Is there any way to have a IPython notebook sharing kernel with a terminal IPython instance? I prefer working in terminal over QT console because I'd like to manage my workflow with tmux. Thanks.

Answer 1

The command is:

ipython console --existing

ipython starts a single-process session, without zmq or a Kernel. ipython console starts the two-process version with the kernel code used by the qtconsole and notebook.
