I want to open three ec2-instances simultaneously using bash script. I am using terminator for that. Following script opens three instances but only after one closed, other opens. Not simultaneously. That means, I have to close terminal with key1 instance then other terminal opens.

terminator -x ssh -i key1 ec2-user@52.x.x.x; 
terminator -x ssh -i key2 ec2-user@52.x.x.x; 
terminator -x ssh -i key3 ec2-user@52.x.x.x;

I want all of them to open in three sub windows in one terminal view. Also, while executing script, it gives me this message:

** (terminator:21982): WARNING **: Binding '<Shift><Control><Alt>a' failed!
Unable to bind hide_window key, another instance/window has it.

I came with this code which works well. But this is for xterm. Can anyone help with same command for terminator?

(xterm -geometry 70x70-0-0 -e ssh -i key1 ec2-user@52.x.x.x;) & 
(xterm -geometry 70x70+485-200 -e ssh -i key1 ec2-user@52.x.x.x;) &
(xterm -geometry 70x70+0-0 -e ssh -i key1 ec2-user@52.x.x.x;)

  • The error is coming from the fact that you are running terminator more than once presumably. Using `--new-tab` will probably help with that. And as the linked answer suggests running the commands in the background will prevent them from "blocking" the next command until after they finish. – Etan Reisner Mar 14 '16 at 01:44
