I want to open a bunch of ssh sessions, how to script it?

Hi all,

I hope you could give me a hand in what I am trying to achieve:

I want to write a bash script to open a number of ssh connections to
certain computers and then launch a couple of commands on each of them.
I would like to open a separate tab (from the main konsole - I use kde)
for each ssh session.

Any hint?

So far I only managed to open the ssh connections, but on different
konsoles...

PS today I attempted bash scripting for the first time, don't be hard on
me :)

If you use gnome-terminal you can open a window with tabs like this

gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=Default \
--tab-with-proile=Default --tab-with-profile=Default

I don't know how to send a command to the tabs.

Thanks, I had figure that out already.

This is still left to do...

You can have "-e command" for each tab. I don't think you can open new
tabs on an existing terminal from the command line. For that you could
use GNU screen.
