Tmux script, open two panes, bind close key

I have the following script:

#!/bin/sh
tmux new-session -d -s vim 'vim index.js'
tmux split-window -h 'nodemon index.js'
tmux -2 attach-session -d

My goal is to have a tmux session open with vim in left pane and nodemon running in the right. This seems to start up fine, but then stops and the right pane closes after a few seconds.

Additionally I'd like to have it set the cursor in the left pane on start.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Problem is that you have bound pane to a command. Which means when you close command the pane will close too. Use different approach. Open pane and then send-keys to open desired command

#!/bin/sh
tmux new-session -d -s vim 
tmux send-keys -t vim:.1 'vim index.js' Enter
tmux split-window -h 
tmux send-keys -t vim:.2 'nodemon index.js' Enter
# select pane
tmux select-pane -t vim:.2 
tmux -2 attach-session -d
