Tabbed terminal emulator that has “Save state” functionality
0
Is there a terminal emulator that will have tabs and once closed and reopened (maybe with some identifier specified on the command line interface) will:
- open the same amount of tabs
- name each tab exactly as before
- have them ordered as before they were closed
- have them
cdin the same directories - set the same env vars
- run the same executables that were running in the same tabs
?
Optionally it should "save state" into an external file.

iTermdoes (some of) this on macOS, but you don't mention what Unix you're running.

But the affected computer will, for example, be rebooted in the interim, right? (I guess I'm asking if you're aware of screen/tmux/byobu which do a subst of what you're asking?)

@UlrichSchwarz yes, thanks for pointing this out, should work across reboots (that's the point actually). I just need to open a dozen of tabs each time I start working and run servers, utilities etc. Used to have a script that would do that for xfce4-terminal, but it was a pain to edit and some changes were required quite often.

@UlrichSchwarz yes, thanks for pointing this out, should work across reboots (that's the point actually).
