View source for Open several ssh terminals at once

==Introduction==
Continuing the theme of '''[[Random stuff]]''' and more particularly of '''[[Code Snippets]]''' and '''[[Linux Bash & Shell]]'''. This is how to open several terminals at once.

==The First version==

===Code===
Open a text file with the ext of .sh
 nano ./open_prod_terminals.sh
Copy the following into the file.
 #!/bin/bash
 #
 # Open SSH sessions in separate terminal windows
 gnome-terminal --tab --title="logan" -- bash -c "ssh logan; exec bash"
 gnome-terminal --tab --title="fig" -- bash -c "ssh fig; exec bash"
 gnome-terminal --tab --title="mandarin" -- bash -c "ssh mandarin; exec bash"
 #
 exit 0
Save and exit. Next we have to make it executable.
 chmod +x ./open_prod_terminals.sh
From now we can use ./open_prod_terminals.sh to open several terminals at once. 

===create an alias===

The text is a bit long and i will not want to type out the whole thing so instead we will create an alias of ./open_prod_terminals.sh. To do this open the shell configuration file
 nano ~/.bashrc
Scroll down to the bottom and add the line 
 alias sshp='./open_prod_terminals.sh' # alias to open production host ssh all at once 
Save and exit. to reload the .bashrc so the alias is available immediately we need to "source" it.
 source ~/.bashrc
Now type sshp to open a SSH session to the Production terminals.
