This is the bash script to create the tabs. I am not sure about the colorcoding.

#!/bin/bash

mate-terminal --tab --title="main"
mate-terminal --tab --title="msf"
mate-terminal --tab --title="NC Listener"
mate-terminal --tab --title="http server"
mate-terminal --tab --title="Searchsploit"

  1. Write a script:
sleep 1m;gnome-terminal –geometry=150×50 –tab –title="echo" -e "bash -c \"echo "hello";echo "there";exec bash\"" –tab –title="idea" -e "bash -c \"/opt/idea-IU-111.69/bin/idea.sh;exec bash\"" –tab –title="sql" -e "bash -c \"mysql -uroot -pigdefault;\"" –tab –title="firefox" -e "bash -c \"/usr/bin/firefox www.gmail.com;\""

The script above will open a terminal with 4 tabs:

  1. echo "hello there"
  2. Idea
  3. MySql
  4. Firefox

The script will also set the titles in the terminal for each tab.

One can personalize the above script accordingly.

Description of the script :

sleep 1m             : Executes the script after 1 minute so that the system finishes 
                       its startup process.
gnome-terminal       : Open a terminal.
  -geometry=150×50   : Set screen size for terminal.
  –tab               : Open new tab
  –title             : Set title for the terminal
  -e                 : Execute the argument inside the terminal.
exec bash            : Starts a new bash after executing all the commands. 
                       This command is required if you do not want to close the current tab.
  1. Save the script anywhere in the file system and make the file executable using the following command:
$chmod +x file.sh
  1. Add this file to startup applications :

Go to System > Preferences > Startup Applications

Click on add and in "command" write:

bash path/to/your/file.sh

Close and its done!

Next time when you start your system, all the tasks mentioned in the script will be automated.
