+.SH NAME
+byobu\-select\-session \- select and connect to a byobu session
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBbyobu\-select\-profile\fP is an application that lists the available screen sessions running on the system, and prompts the user to select one.  If an invalid selection is chosen 3 times in a row, the user is connected to the youngest session.  If only one session exists, the user is connected to that session.  If no sessions exist, a new session is created.
