Prevent terminal from closing after command execution
Hello, I want to create application which launches some terminal, then some command is executed on that terminal and then prevent terminal from closing. I started to do on gnome-terminal because the Gnome is the most widely used desktop-manager in the Linux distributions. I want to do something like that: Code:
gnome-terminal --sync -x tcsh -c "cd xys; command ;" & In konsole there is a --noclose option preventing the terminal from closing after the command execution. I can do it like that: Code:
gnome-terminal --sync -x tcsh -c "cd xys; command xxx ; exec tcsh; " & But then I lose the certain settings which I loaded in the terminal during the command xxx execution. Do you know how to prevent gnome-terminal from closing after the command execution?

what does this command line give you: Code:
gnome-terminal --sync -x tcsh -exec "cd xys&& command xxx; exec tcsh" & # or: gnome-terminal --sync -x tcsh -exec "cd xys; command xxx && exec tcsh" & Last edited by vbe; 06-11-2012 at 08:59 AM.. Reason: typos |

Using && instead of ; in the command does not change the problem that if there is a exec tcsh in the end of line the settings loaded before that are lost.
I want to do gnome-terminal --sync -x tcsh -c "cd <some_folder>; some_command ;" & And terminal to remain opened after some_command execution. If in xterm that is possible I can use it instaed of gnome-terminal. |
