Just like the title says, I would like to turn on my raspberry pi and have it automatically open a terminal and that terminal would automatically start a python script. Preferably in a way where I can run 4 different terminals each running a different .py file.
I have done the rc.local approach but the programs do not open in a terminal and that is essential for the functionality of the code. 
Any suggestions?
Edit the file found here:
/etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart
add your commands to it
@python PathToScript/script.py
Edit: I realize you want the terminal open. I believe this will work
@lxterminal --command "python pathToScript/script.py"
How can I open a terminal and run a program in it automatically on my raspberry pi?
