Programmatically open multiple windows as byobu windows

Question

I need to execute several bash scripts in background with a screen devoted to each script within byobu session.

So how to invoke a byobu window for each script like:

$byobu-multiple script1.bash script2.bash ...

Answer 1

Modern byobu is based on tmux, so you can simply use the tmux new-window command.

You can do one for each command:

tmux new-window script1.bash
tmux new-window script2.bash

If you really need a one-liner you could use xargs:

echo script1.bash script2.bash | xargs --max-args=1 tmux new-window

If you have multiple byobu sessions running in parallel, you can run tmux list-sessions to see them, and could append the tmux new-window command with -t to point it at a specific session.
