How can I make a terminal with 3 tabs appear after startup?

Question

• Xubuntu 13.10

I would like to have xfce4-terminal appear automatically after logging in. I would like to have this instance of the terminal have 3 tabs, the first one being title htop, the second one titled man and the last one titled Stuff.

Example:

Is that possible?

Answer 1

1. Run xfce4-session-settings → Application Autostart → Add

2. Put a name and a description (optional), then add this command:

   xfce4-terminal -T htop -e htop --tab -T man --tab -T Stuff
   

   or with sudo htop so it just wait for your password:

   xfce4-terminal -T htop -e "sudo htop" --tab -T man --tab -T Stuff
   

   • --tab create new tab
   • -T Title
   • -e execute command
