Multiple terminals in bash scripting

Question

I am trying to write a bash script, but I need multiple tabs in it or terminal. Is it possible to use that in a bash script. I need it, because I use a few commands that need to keep running.

Thank you all and sorry for my English!

Answer 1

To run a process in the background add & at the end. For example, this runs ls in the background and uses tail to monitor the file that's being written to in the foreground.

ls -lR / > /tmp/ls.out &
tail -f /tmp/ls.out

If at any point you want to wait until the background processes are finished before continuing—perhaps at the end of your script before it exits—use a bare wait command:

wait
