Open gnome terminal programmatically and execute commands after executing bashrc

Question

I am trying to create a small script to start a development environment. For this task, I am trying to open the gnome terminal with several tabs, where the rails server and autotest are automatically launched. But

gnome-terminal --tab -e "rails server" --tab --tab

does not work ("error creating child process"). Also

gnome-terminal --tab -e "bash -c \" rails server \ "" --tab --tab` 

does not work. Any suggestions for resolving this issue?

Answer 1

Here is a good trick we developed at Superuser

• eval "$BASH_POST_RC" .bashrc

• BASH_POST_RC , , : gnome-terminal --working-directory="/home/zardoz/projects/my_rails_app" --tab -e 'bash -c "export BASH_POST_RC=\"rails server\"; exec bash"' --tab -e 'bash -c "export BASH_POST_RC=\"autotest\"; exec bash"'

for ubuntu 16.04

click Ctr+Shift+T

a new tab will open in the same window. in addition, a button for adding additional tabs will appear next to the rightmost tab.
