    Hit your system copy command on the start screen to put the session id into the system clipboard. If you can find your PA or PA.exe binary in a "command line" or "terminal", pass the session id with --ticket and you will be automatically logged in.

    - https://github.com/JustinLove/copy_session

    Following OS X only (pull requests welcome)

    The entire command line is copied to the clipboard.

    (probably linux as well) If you're restarting PA a lot (due to crashes or shader development), the mod includes a restart.sh shell script which can be invoked as follows:

    Code:
    ./restart.sh "<C-V>"
    Where <C-V> is your paste command containing a shell command, and the quotes are very important.

    You'll need to Ctrl-C to kill the script when you actually want to quit.

    A fair bit of prior discussion on the topic of session ids in a different thread: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/wip-steal-my-password.60630/

    I had a session expire. Probably from a day or so again when I made the mod, and I used it just a few minutes ago.

    Did it still login and only fail on creating games? That's the only issue I had so far for my main account: Login inside of PA seems to work, but creating games instant fails and returns me to the main menu.

    No, fail to login and asked for username/password. Didn't write down the exact dialog message.

    67249 changes ctrl-C behavior - the game catches it even when running via the script, and then the script immediately restarts it. I had to go to another terminal and kill the restart process. Experimenting with adding a timeout so a double ctrl-C will work.

    Expired session:

    Code:
    UNABLE TO SIGN IN
    
    Error connecting to UberNet: Ticket authorization failure
    Client Error -5: Invalid session ticket, please log in again.

    OS X copying broken in 67249 because SDL doesn't have a mapping for Command key.

    Yeah that expire message is what I got after I added a random x at the end of my semi working session.
    I think to get a session it is easier to grab it from within your browser's cookie, really ;)

    Work-around: ctrl-dash is triggering copy (PA#3640)
