How to start automatically issue a command in one tab of terminal console When I use terminal on OSX, I normally have console terminal open with a number of different tabs. In one of those tabs I have a localhost server and in another tab I have a different localhost server. I have saved this window configuration as a windows group that is reopened when I restart terminal, say upon rebooting.

When I restart terminal, I want the two tabs with servers in them to restart the servers. 

How do I do this?
This may help you. Go to Preferences under the Terminal menu and a panel opens. Click on the Profiles icon on the top left of the panel. This opens a new panel as shown below.



Click on the shell tab at the top of the new panel. The first item, as shown in the image, is where you can define a command or commands to run when the tab is opened.
