Open multiple terminal tabs, execute commands and continue working on them

Question

When I type:

gnome-terminal --tab -e 'ls' --tab -e 'ls'

Two new tabs opens in a new terminal window with the 'ls' results, but the prompt is not displayed and no more useless. I want to continue working in these tabs normally.

Can you help me? :)

Try this:

gnome-terminal --tab -e 'ls; exec bash'

Or

gnome-terminal --tab -e 'bash -c "ls; exec bash"'
