It's pretty easy with tmux (via "tmux send-keys") but you need to consider
unwanted side-effects if the session isn't at a shell prompt awaiting
input. What happens if, say, a command like vim is the foreground task when
you try to execute that command? You're just asking for trouble trying to
do it that way. The only time I use that capability is when I know I'm
establishing a new session and want to do some custom initialization (e.g.,
cd'ing to a particular directory and launching my editor).
