multit

multit is a command-line utility that allows users to run multiple commands simultaneously in separate terminals. It is designed to simplify the process of managing several concurrent tasks, such as compiling code, running tests, or monitoring processes. The primary function of multit is to open a new terminal window for each command specified and then execute that command within its respective window.

Users typically invoke multit by providing a list of commands as arguments. For instance, a typical usage might look like multit "command1" "command2" "command3". Each quoted string represents a command that will be launched in its own terminal. multit handles the creation of these new terminal sessions and the execution of the commands within them. This saves the user from manually opening multiple terminal windows and typing each command individually.

The utility is particularly useful in development environments where developers often need to manage several related processes at once. It can also be employed for system administration tasks that require simultaneous monitoring or execution of scripts. While specific features and options may vary slightly depending on the implementation and operating system, the core purpose of multit remains consistent: to streamline the management of multiple concurrent command-line operations.
