HI, but using watch you don't get the cursor back.

Try with a full script with loops

Sounds good how do I do that?

John Doe: From: Pete O'Connell 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 /" JD

Tom De Vylder: Or just use Terminator and broadcast to all split windows or tabs. -- Tom
John Doe: From: Pete O\'Connell Because when the command exists, the gnome-terminal session exists... Best would be the following if you find out how to add your commands to the bash call... ? gnome-terminal --tab -e "bash -i" --tab -e "bash -i" Maybe someone will have an idea... Instead of the loops, you could use this script.sh: ? #!/bin/bash ? ls $* ? bash -i ? gnome-terminal --tab -e "/path/to/script.sh AAA" --tab -e "/path/to/script.sh BBB" JD
Pete O'Connell: hi, bash is unavailable to me on my machine unfortunately (it is a work machine) the command must be sent in a tsch shell. any way to do this in tsch? Pete
