Over time, I become invested in my terminal sessions: tabs, command history, window layout and title, etc. Eventually, a reboot requires me to start all over again which wastes my time.
The two terminal emulators with which I'm familiar had at least partial capability here, but the functionality has since been removed: konsole lost this functionality somewhere along the way to KDE4. gnome-terminal lost the --save-config option as "obsolete" somewhere before version 3.10.2, i.e. the answer here no longer applies: Save multiple gnome-terminal layout?
I want to capture the current state of all terminal sessions and restore them after a reboot. A scripted solution would be fine, so long as it does not require manual updates to track session changes.

, do you want that same file to be remembered next time you open your terminal or do you just want the tabs/panes set up and the relevant programs launched? Would something like my answer here work for you?terminator
can do it as I explain in the link I gave in my previous comment. Let me know if you need anything else and I'll tweak it accordingly and post as a new answer here. If not, I will vote to close this as a duplicate.
