A very simple way to do this interactively is to open a bunch of tabs in
Konsole, and then set it to "send input to all sessions".  Obviously this
approach has a lot of drawbacks (requires a GUI), and might not fit your
needs.  But it's dirt cheap to try.

You might also be able to hack something up with dsh, the Distributed Shell.
