Any good terminal software which has split window support?

1

I would like to start terminal window via shell script with 2 splits opened in same window. One should do ssh and other one should change dir when opening. It needs to accept commands to be passed. (something similar to gnome-terminal --tab-with-profile). I'm looking for split window with profile and commands to execute while starting.

The tmux and screen terminal multiplexers are often used for this.

session=$RANDOM
tmux new-session -s "$session" -d "ssh foohost"
tmux split-window -t "$session:0"
tmux send-keys -t "$session:0.1" "cd workdir" "Enter"
tmux attach -t "$session"

session=screen-$RANDOM
screen -dmS "$session"
screen -S "$session" -X ...I gave up.

Thanks. Your answer gave me an idea to achieve via xsendkeys.

terminator -m & sleep 1 xsendkeys control+shift+e xvkbd -xsendevent -text "ssh -X $pool_machine\r" xvkbd -xsendevent -text "cd $sb_dir/src\r" xsendkeys control+shift+p xvkbd -xsendevent -text "cd $choosen/src\r"

pool machine is where i need to compile and local machine i run emacs to edit. I like terminator better because i have zoom and hide other windows and bring it when its needed. – sudurais – 2011-04-22T19:12:01.073

i started using tmux recently. it simply rocks. – sudurais – 2013-11-24T18:33:15.423
