Bash script to open multiple terminal widows?

Question

I want to open multiple terminal windows (20 to be specific) through a bash script. Can someone help ?

Answer 1

This little script should be helpful:

#!/bin/bash

for i in {0..19}
do
    xterm &
done

Explanation:

1. {0..19}: number range from 0 to 19 to give total of twenty

2. xterm &: opens terminal and allows you to detach from the original terminal

Answer 2

Another script

#!/bin/bash
for i in `seq 1 20`;
  do
  gnome-terminal
done 

Answer 3

Try gnu parallel:

parallel -j20 gnome-terminal ::: {1..20}
