Well, if you are willing to learn bash then what I would recommend is 
exactly what Chris said: you run an external script (whose first line 
would be #!/bin/bash) with the necessary commands to make exactly what 
you wanted.

I was trying to attempt a solution that does not use any external 
commands, but only now I realized that you are opening xterm, which 
would not be necessary.
