mate-terminal \
--window-with-profile="amb_01" \
--tab-with-profile="amb_01" \
--tab-with-profile="amb_01" -e "ssh root@archman.us" \

some already running SSH connections to
root@archman.us.

tabs. Some results are unrecoverable.

bash ~/workspace/bin/open_mate_term.shResult: 6 tabs total (tabs 3 & 4 SSH to production server).
Need more empty tabs? Add commas in the last
{,,,} (e.g. {,,,,} → 8
tabs).
While alternative approaches exist,
this technique creates valuable, real-world-like
scenarios that help learners actively practice and
understand the concept.
Multiple tabs help you monitor several remote sessions at
once without opening many windows.
Six open tabs
equates to six unique workflows.
You can change profile names, add more tabs, or use
--geometry for window size.
