Here's a oneliner:

$(echo "/proc/`pgrep -o tmux -u $(whoami)`/exe attach")

On multi-user systems (e.g. on HPCs), you might need to filter by your own username. You can also add the function to your .bash_profile, e.g.:

function last_tmux(){
    $(echo "/proc/`pgrep -o tmux -u $(whoami)`/exe attach")
}
