Question

#!/bin/bash

for ((n=0;n<3;n++))
do
gnome-terminal
done

This is the code for opening three terminals. I have asset it graphical in Ubuntu desktop. When I click the icon, only one terminal opens, when I close the terminal another opens, this goes on to three. But when I run the script in the terminal itself, all three terminals open simultaneously. This is what I’m after, having my icon on the desktop open them up simultaneously.

#!/bin/bash

for i in {0..3}; do
    gnome-terminal &
done
