Launching shell on mininet hosts in terminal

Inside a tmux session on iTerm2, I'm running mininet on vagrant with ubuntu/trusty64 as base box. I'm looking for a solution to start shell on multiple hosts in mininet topology in iTerm2 (ideally as new pane/tab in my existing tmux session).

Example -

# ssh into vagrant box
vagrant ssh

# create minimal topology
sudo mn --topo minimal --controller remote 

# opens xterm (XQuartz) window, connected to host1 
mininet> xterm h1

# starts bash on host1
mininet> h1 bash

If you want to access all hosts altogether, this answers might be useful https://stackoverflow.com/a/60420439/15135320 . It is also usable for those who can't execute xterm (e.g. those who run mininet in a remote machine and connect to it with ssh, so they don't have access to machine's display)

Method one: You can run shell command and script in the xterm window. enter image description here

Method two: You can run directly on mininet console. 

mininet> h1 bash script.sh
Write sth on h1
mininet>

The script.sh contains simple echo command.
