title: How to open another tab in command line and proceed there with fabric?
body: <p>Basically, what I am trying to do is to start my django application.</p>
  
  <p>Before I can do <code>runserver</code>, I need to start <code>mongodb</code> and <code>redis</code> by running <code>mongod</code> and <code>redis-server</code> respectively.</p>
  
  <p>So, I though I could automate this instead of doing it every time.</p>
  
  <p>My fabric function looks something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>def start_project():
      local("mongod") 
      local("redis-server")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But once it starts <code>mongod</code> the tab becomes busy and it will not execute <code>redis-server</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Now, is it possible that I can do something like this?:</p>
  
  <pre><code>def start_meraki():
      local("mongod")
      open_another_tab()   # what can I do here?  
      local("redis-server") 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>P.S. I am using Ubuntu 14.04</p>
