Ability to open and new tab and execute a command in the tab from the command line

Describe the solution you'd like?

Would like to be able to launch the opening of several tabs with commands from the command line (like a bash script).

Example
open-all.sh
# Open all of my servers terminals via ssh

warp -tab-command "ssh me@my-server1.com"
warp -tab-command "ssh me@my-server2.com"
warp -tab-command "ssh me@my-server3.com"

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I need to be able to quickly open a set of servers in separate tabs to respond to an issue or do a task that requires multiple terminals in tabs or split screens opened quickly (via ssh or AWS ssm, for instance).

Additional context

I was able to configure my OS to open a shell script from the file browser using Warp, but not as Tabbed sessions, alos having to use to UI to click in each shell script was icky.

How important is this feature to you?

Hi @tmccormi The best feature for this use case may be Launch Configurations, you can configure a set of tabs to open and then run any commands in those tabs, including ssh. Please see an example of this in our docs. https://docs.warp.dev/features/sessions/launch-configurations#commands Then, to open Launch configurations with a script, please take a look at Warps URI scheme as there is one for opening them with warp://launch/<launch_configuration_path>. https://docs.warp.dev/features/uri-scheme

Hope this helps with your use case, if not, then let us know what we can do differently.

Hey @tmccormi , I also have the same test case. In my case I created a launch configuration to ssh into the server. It works that's great. But I want to run commands on few of the server (on the servers after ssh) and not on my local machine. And in on of the tab after I ssh into a server, I want to ssh again to a different server from current one (SSH Tunneling) and execute some commands over there.

For example my launch configuration

name: Open Machines
windows:
  - tabs:
      - title: SSH Forward
        layout:
          cwd: /Users/vinit
          commands:
            - exec: ssh -i ~/mdoa ec2-user@111.111.111.111
            - exec: ssh -i "mdoa.pem" ubuntu@192.168.1.10
            - exec: sudo su
        color: blue
  - tabs:
      - title: SSH Forward
        layout:
          cwd: /Users/vinit
          commands:
            - exec: ssh -i ~/mdoa ec2-user@111.111.111.111
            - exec: ssh -i "mdoa.pem" ubuntu@192.168.1.11
            - exec: sudo su
        color: blue

I see, but I can't find anything that shows how you create these? There is "save new" in Launch Configs, but nothing about how to create it to begin with.

You need to create a file directly/manually. Warp will load it automatically. I'm using mac my save location is ~/.warp/launch_configurations/config.yaml

If a directory does not exists, create it. If a file does not exists, create it.

Ah, I see. Got it to work, thanks!

The current solution is acceptable. It would be better if you put this solution to workflow section in Warp doc.

On MacOS, the open command works to run commands in new tabs:

open -a warp "/path/script.sh"
open -a warp "/bin/ls" --args "~/Downloads"

On MacOS, the open command works to run commands in new tabs:

open -a warp "/path/script.sh"
open -a warp "/bin/ls" --args "~/Downloads"

Works!!

[gnegno84]

Can I use open to run a zsh script? I tried like open -a warp "/bin/zsh" --args "-i -c test" But it's not working (opening a subshell)

[TeijiW]

Is there a solution to open many tabs, but all in a split view? Like a tab in right side and another in left side.

[jabbrahn]

On MacOS, the open command works to run commands in new tabs:

open -a warp "/bin/ls" --args "~/Downloads"

Works!!

Does it really? For me it brings up Warp and executes the command /bin/ls (without arguments) in the directory /bin. Could you please verify? I'm running Warp v0.2024.09.10.08.02.stable_01 on macOS Sonoma 14.6.1 (23G93).
