    Script/programming question for Xubuntu - opening multiple terminals

    I am trying to write a program (in C) or a script (no clue how to write scripts) that will open up 4 terminal windows, and type a specific command into each one, and execute it.

    The command is a ping command, but I have 4 different NICs, so I want to ping from each individual NIC. Currently, I have to open each terminal window up and type the command in, but I want to automate this to save time.

    Thanks

    I found some shell information online, but my main issue is writing a script to open up multiple terminals and have a unique command for each one

    Thanks
