列出所有gnome终端窗口

Question

My ubuntu setup, has various shell-scripts that help me get my work done. Of which, many of the important ones, are persistent. I have a single shell, that does the "loading" of these various persistent shells.

However i would like it to be able to monitor all the various sub-shell. And to be able to recreate it, after it itself has closed / any sub-shell closes.

Making the whole thing fully automated.

Currently, each shell would have its own unique title : hence even a simple list of all opened gnome terminal titles would work... >.< problem is, getting that done.

Answer 1

Use:

$ wmctrl -l

to list all the windows managed by the window manager, or

$ wmctrl -l -x | grep gnome-terminal\\.Gnome-terminal

to list all the gnome-terminals.

Check man wmctrl for more info.

Answer 2

To list the window titles of all gnome-terminal windows:

$ xdotool search --onlyvisible -class gnome-terminal getwindowname %@

The window title of each gnome-terminal window is the title of the current tab

The option --onlyvisible is not hiding minimized windows, or windows on other desktops. It suppresses "internal" windows, which are not really part of the GUI.

You can list the PIDs for the windows - note multiple or all terminal windows may belong to the same process of gnome-terminal :

$ xdotool search --onlyvisible -class gnome-terminal getwindowpid %@

To list the X window IDs, use the default action after search:

$ xdotool search --onlyvisible -class gnome-terminal
