I am new to terminator, where I need to launch 4 terminal. I have a script run1.sh which I want to run on first two terminal simultaneously and script run2.sh in other two terminal simultaneously.

But I want to launch the above four terminal by some script let say by script start.sh so that it itself start the terminator and split the terminator in four window and run the script run1.sh in first two window and run2.sh in other two window. Please suggest me relevant approach (it could be any python/bash/perl), as I could able to start the four window of terminator by manually and executing the command separately, which I want to do by some script. Thanks in advance!!

The following shellscript works for me in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. If you have another desktop environment, you should edit the script's wcorr and hcorr values in order to match the screen.

I suggest the name l4t for the shellscript,

#!/bin/bash



wcorr=68  # manual fix for vertical panels

hcorr=26  # manual fix for horizontal panels





tmps=$(LANG=C xrandr|grep -om1 'current.*,')

tmps=${tmps/,}

tmps=${tmps/current }

echo "screen resolution = $tmps pixels"

wscr=${tmps/ x*}

hscr=${tmps/*x }

wter=$(( (wscr-wcorr)/2 ))

hter=$(( (hscr-hcorr)/2 ))

echo "terminal width  = $wter pixels"

echo "terminal height = $hter pixels"



terminator --borderless --geometry="${wter}x${hter}+0+0" -x run1.sh &

terminator --borderless --geometry="${wter}x${hter}+0-0" -x run1.sh &

terminator --borderless --geometry="${wter}x${hter}-0+0" -x run2.sh &

terminator --borderless --geometry="${wter}x${hter}-0-0" -x run2.sh &

I have tested the function with the following scripts run1.sh and run1.sh

run1.sh:

#!/bin/bash



cnt=0

while [ $cnt -lt 10 ]

do

 echo -n "$cnt"

 sleep 1

 cnt=$((cnt+1))

done

echo ""

bash

run1.sh:

#!/bin/bash



cnt=9

while [ $cnt -ge 0 ]

do

 echo -n "$cnt"

 sleep 1

 cnt=$((cnt-1))

done

echo ""

bash

I put a bash command at the end of these scripts. Otherwise the terminal windows would be closed after the scripts have finished. You may want to do something else.

Make the three shellscripts executable

chmod +x l4t run1.sh run2.sh

and move them to a directory in PATH,

mv l4t run1.sh run2.sh /usr/local/bin/

Now you can run them just with the name like any other command.
