Open multiple shell window, each one with different command executed

Hi all,
I want to click on something in the dock and have three shell window opened. Each shell must connect to a ssh console, login and execute a command (like ps, top, etc..) and the stays there showing me the results.
I need the three window to open at exact positions (so I can see all of them at the same time) and with fixed width and height. I also want to make them a bit transparent and green on black...
Thank you so much for your time answering this!
See you.

Sounds like you want an Applescript that will open multiple Terminal windows with custom colors that will execute timed sequence of commands.

Firefox opens with a window that says "Checking for compatibility for Add-ons" then it always opens 2 tabs... one with my home page and one that says Congratulations, Firefox is up to date. How can I stop it from starting that way?

Hi konee,
You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps!

Cannot open multiple IE windows under VPC/WinXP

Folks,
My apologies but I've searched the forum and cannot find instructions on how to make this happen...
I have VPC 7.0.2 and WinXP with IE 6.0.2 running on my PBook. I need to open multiple IE windows (or instances of IE) to access different business applications and cannot. The second window always opens with the URL of the current window (or current instance of IE).
Is there a fix? Many thanks...

Well, your advice was helpful in that it confirmed what I also thought should work... I would go to File, New, Window but now it seems that "sometimes" information (URL, even user data) is carried from a current window to a new one.
I have also had existing IE shortcuts on my Desktop not open to the URL they should, but to the current window's URL.
I hate intermittent problems, and I hate wasting this forum's members time as well.
I might try IE 7 and inflict more pain upon myself.

Open multiple playlist windows?

It doesn't seem that I can open multiple playlist windows in version 11. I'm a massage therapist and broadcast, via the Griffin Rocket, my music to all the radios in the house. I chose different playlists for different clients and need to switch playlists for different clients which I could do easily by having multiple iTunes windows open.
Now I can't? I just used to click on the playlist icon, and a new iTunes window would open.

There is one way that I have found to open up two windows - but only two windows, and it's extremely limited functionality.
In the iTunes "Window" menu, just check "Mini Player" (if you're currently in the full iTunes window) or check "iTunes" if you're currently in the miniplayer. Do NOT click "Switch to MiniPlayer"
That opens up second window, so you have both the full window and the miniplayer open. Which still stinks, but you can use the "search" tool in the miniplayer to at least partially browse around and minipulate music (using the pop up menus) while referring to playlists etc. in the main window.
Very dissatisfying, but at least it's something.

Cannot open multiple firefox windows

The problem is I cannot open multiple firefox windows at 1 time. It keeps saying that firefox is running or it just spins on the 2nd time that we press on the firefox icon every time I do this. Can you please come up with a solution. Yes we can open up multiple tabs but cannot get more than 1 session running at a time.
Is there a fix for this?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

The "+" sign which opens NEW TAB has stopped working. I have to open a new window each time. I tried uninstalling firefox and installing again but the problem still persists. Somebody guide me on this.

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

[Solved] When I open multiple Firefox windows an orange pull down tab appears and I cannot exit from any single window. I have to exit all of the Firefox windows to close one.

I like to open several Firefox windows when I am browsing the internet. Since mi reinstall of windows XP with sp3 I installed Firefox 5.0.1. Now when I open multiple windows they kind of window in a window and I get this orange pull down menu. I can no longer close any one single window. I click the lower of the two top right X's to close the window and all the tabs in that window, but nothing happens. I also don't like the look and feel of the orange pull down menu

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
In Firefox 4 and later [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

Open multiple pdf's in one acrobat window

On my new Vista OS, I can't figure out how to set my adobe reader 8 back to where it opens multiple pdfs into one window so you can just click between them rather than multiple windows.
