Parallel Run on multiple Terminals

If you want to execute commands in parallel on each server then you can use below script for your reference. This will open one terminal for each server and will start the execution simultaneously.

start Linux-Automator server1 UserID Password "E:\Command\commands.txt" 5
start Linux-Automator server2 UserID Password "E:\Command\commands.txt" 4
start Linux-Automator server3 UserID Password "E:\Command\command1.txt" 3
start Linux-Automator server4 UserID Password "E:\Command\command1.txt" 4

NOTE: You need to pass the Pause_time carefully. If your command is executing and nothing gets printed on terminal within Pause_time then it will send next command for execution.
