# Rails Terminals for Rails 3.2/4 and Gnome
# A simple script that opens a Gnome terminal with titled tabs:
# 1. Rails Server
# 2. Spork
# 3. bash
# and opens the app in:
# 1. Sublime Text
# 2. Browser
# USAGE: railsterminal working_dir
#
# Server and Spork terminals are kept around after Ctrl+C
#   so that you can restart them.
