Launching a Terminal with Multiple Tabs in Linux Ubuntu

A short note on how to launch a terminal with multiple tabs in Linux Ubuntu:

gnome-terminal --tab -e "cmd1" --tab -e "cmd2"

This command launches several terminal tabs in a new window and runs cmd1 and cmd2 in them. Replace cmd1 and cmd2 with your own commands.

Nice extras:

  • maximize - expands the window to full screen
  • title - sets the tab’s name/title.
