Issue with gnome terminal
Hi,

I cant get this command to run in a new gnome terminal
Code:
cd "$PRG" && gnome-terminal -x sh -c './prg -r testcommand' &>/dev/null &

i can run just ./prg -r testcommand and it runs fine but in the command above it only runs ./prg

Any ideas community

Cheers in advance
