How to open screen with many tabs?

How can I execute some commands within each tab, plus giving the main screen window a name to call it again later to execute other commands?

For example, I have a loop this is the code inside it: 

gnomeTab+=( --tab -e "cpulimit -p $i -l $limitationPercentage ")

and I run the result after finishing the loop in gnome terminal like this: 

gnome-terminal "${gnomeTab[@]}"

I want to do exactly as happens in the gnome terminal to open many tabs within the main terminal window and execute this command. But, I want to re-do this by GNUScreen.

in addition, I want to give the main screen window a name: For example: let it be "screen1"

  • See my answer over on Unix & Linux. Also, you probably weren't aware but you're not suppose to cross post on the Stack Exchange websites, which askubuntu is a part of.
