find number of gnome-terminal tabs currently open by window Id

How can I find the number of open tabs in my terminal?

I can get the Id of the window by using xwininfo -name and giving a name of one of the tabs. For example:

xwininfo -name "<name of a tab>" on my machine resulted in:

xwininfo: Window id: 0x3000006 "<name of tab>"

...some more info

Is there a way to know the number of tabs currently open? I'm using Ubuntu with tcsh but bash solutions are welcome also because they may hint for the solution with tcsh.

Solution

  • You can try something like this:

    ps --ppid $(pgrep gnome-terminal)  | grep tcsh | wc -l
