This is what I want to accomplish:

1. I want to open a gnome terminal with five tabs in it
2. I want to run a set of commands (5 – 10 commands) in each tab automatically
   First tab: shall set clear-case view and after that execute one or more commands
   Second tab: shall login into a server and execute some commands
   Third tab: shall only execute some commands

gnome-terminal --geometry=260x25-0+0 --tab -e "csh -c \"ct setview myViewName; cal\"" –tab --tab --tab (works ok, view is set but no command executed after that)

I have tried to do it this way instead and running this in the script below:

gnome-terminal --geometry 125x18-0-26 --tab -t "some title" -e /home/ekido/Desktop/MyScripts/myScript

#!/usr/bin/expect
exec gnome-terminal --geometry 125x49-0+81 –tab
spawn ssh usert@server
expect "password"
send "*******\r"
expect "user@server100:~>"
send “some comand\r"
expect "user@server100:~>"
send “some command"
interact 

If I remove the exec gnome-terminal --geometry 125x49-0+81 –tab rows from the example and call a script from some other file, it works fine (I get logged in to the server and all commands executed). So my question is, if anyone can help me solve this?

To write a script that I call for every tab is not an option since I will have a 5 terminals with 5-7 tabs in etch in the end and that means it would be 25 to 30 scripts to write (cost more than it helps in my problem).
