Autostart forLXTerminal

Not sure this is the correct forum, but anyway I'll ask here...

Is there anything like an 'autostart' facility in LXTerminal whereby it will start prepopulated with a number of tabs or be able to start where you left off the way Chrome can?
 
I found I can open numerous tabs using

lxterminal --tabs=a,b,c -e "emacs -nw"

This will open three tabs and run emacs in the first one.

I've tried various combinations to try and get something started in the second and subsequent tabs without success.

Does anyone know if this is possible?
 
My 2 cents: Relying on a particular GUI terminal emulator like lxterminal or xfce-terminal does not pay off in the long run.

If you need tabs, sessions, etc., maybe look at a general terminal multiplexer, which will work with any GUI terminal, even low-end ones like xterm and rxvt-unicode, or even plain-text sessions over SSH!

I am using sysutils/tmux for this purpose, which seems to have very good scripting capabilities: https://ryan.himmelwright.net/post/scripting-tmux-workspaces/

The reliance on keyboard shortcuts is something to get acustomed to, but maybe it's worth a try?
