I want one script to open several Tabs in different folders.

While searching I found this entry, but an exchange like seen below did open a Terminal with three tabs in my home folder. The error message showed:

Failed to parse arguments: Unknown option --execute=cd /some/thing/

The script looks like this:

#!/bin/sh

gnome-terminal --tab --execute="cd /some/thing/" 

          --tab --execute="cd /home/" 

          --tab --execute="cd /home/" 

exit 0

A Variation with --working-directory="/some/thing/" did also not help.
Can you see a mistake?

The following works for me on oneiric. You can use this in place of your version:

#!/bin/bash

gnome-terminal --tab  --working-directory="/var/www/" --tab --working-directory='/home/' --tab --working-directory='/home/'

exit 0
