Show output for n commands in parallel












-1















Is there a shell command to show the output of n given commands in parallel? I have n log-view commands (where n can be different at the startup time) and I like to show their output in parallel.



It should look like the split view of tmux, but with tmux it seems to be really hard to just give n commands and get a uniform split output view of them.



The call should be something like (the given commands are probably useless; they are just an example):
split_command_view "watch -n0.1 ls -la" "tail -F log.txt" "date"



In this case the screen should be split in three sub-terminals and show the commands outputs.



Does something like this exist?



Thank you

          tail supports displaying mutiple files at once, however it doesn't split the terminal into panes like tmux does.



          tail -f /var/log/syslog /var/log/auth.log
