Terminal Execution By Giving a Command
Hi Guys,
I am using Red Hat Linux 5 and GNOME Terminal is available there in the Accessories menu of Applications. But I don't see any run command option which can be used to type the name of the terminal and execute it directly as I used to do it under Mandrake Linux wherein I would type terminal and the terminal would get opened.
Thanks!
Dev.

ul(1) General Commands Manual ul(1)
Name
ul - process underscores for terminal
Syntax
ul [-i] [-t terminal] [name...]
Description
The command reads the named files (or standard input if none are given) and translates occurrences of underscores to the sequence which
indicates underlining for the terminal in use, as specified by the environment variable TERM. The -t option overrides the terminal kind
specified in the environment. The file /etc/termcap is read to determine the appropriate sequences for underlining. If the terminal is
incapable of underlining, but is capable of a standout mode then that is used instead. If the terminal can overstrike, or handles under-
lining automatically, degenerates to If the terminal cannot underline, underlining is ignored.
The -i option causes to indicate underlining by a separate line containing appropriate dashes `-'; this is useful when you want to look at
the underlining which is present in an output stream on a crt-terminal.
Options
-i Displays underscoring on separate line containing appropriate dashes (-).
-t terminal
Uses type of specified terminal in place your terminal's type.
Restrictions
The command usually outputs a series of backspaces and underlines intermixed with the text to indicate underlining. No attempt is made to
optimize the backward motion.
