hello, i am having trouble getting gnome-terminal to persist using the --command option. $ gnome-terminal --command=ls opens a new gnome-terminal and closes it immediately after executing the 'ls'. does anyone know of a way to keep the terminal from closing after running the command? thanks, -matt zagrabelny
This is what fluxbox uses in it's menus:x-terminal-emulator -T "Worm" -e sh -c '/usr/games/worm;echo PRESS ENTER;read line'
given the syntax you gave above, I'd suggest: gnome-terminal --command="sh -c 'ls;bash'" (executing bash after ls) HTH, Joris
