Hi I am trying to open several tabs in a gnome-terminal window like above. I want to run a command for each tab within the body of the above command. AAA and BBB are both profiles I have created and also predefined environment variable on my system (each representing a path to a folder). The code I was hoping would work was something like:
"gnome-terminal --tab-with-profile=AAA -e='ls AAA' --tab-with-profile=BBB -e='ls BBB'"
in order to list the folder contents within each tab, but no dice.
I think the problem is more that it exits right away and does not seem to accept chained commands with ; or &&... Try with a full script with loops or something like watch: gnome-terminal --tab -e "watch ls /" --tab -e "watch ls /"
