I need to open a new terminal tab and execute multiple commands on it, how can I do it. I have already tried the following,

gnome-terminal --tab -t "X" -e "cd ~/Desktop/terminal_test;mkdir test"

Here I need to cd into a new directory and create a new folder.

You can use gnome-terminal. The script below will open 3 tabs running the respective commands..

tab="--tab" cmd01="bash -c 'ls';'pwd';bash" foo="" foo+=($tab -e "$cmd01") gnome-terminal "${foo[@]}" exit 0
