I would like to ask about using gnome-terminal command, I had a script that will run my VBOX VM in headless and i want to display the output(STDOUT) on the gnome-terminal window. The purpose that i want to display the STDOUT of the script cause i will used it or create a desktop shortcut for one click start all and want a visual display of the script running all the VM's for confirmation. The script works fine when i used in terminal. It failed to run the Script if i will used the "gnome-terminal -e" command. "Its like it runs all the command inside the script and STDOUT it on gnome-terminal window that pop-up and as soon as the script exit all the command inside the script will abort or simple the VM state will abort or stop running"already try all the option on gnome-terminal but unsuccesfull. Here are some i tried:
i also used --working-directory, profile i guess all argument in gnome-terminal.
My goal would be run all the command inside the script and if the script exit and also the gnome-terminal exit all the command inside the script won't be affected.
Hope someone knows something..
Thanks in advance..

Hi all,
I have a shell script which uses "mailx -H" to get the subject of a email in a Linux system.
However, the subject is truncated, and I think it has something to do with the terminal width because it only returns the first 80 characters of each line.
I have tried "stty columns"... (7 Replies)

gnome-wm
GNOME(1) General Commands Manual GNOME(1)gnome-wm - Launches the user selected window manager for the GNOME sessionSYNOPSIS
gnome-wm [--default-wm windowmanager] [--sm-client-id id]
DESCRIPTION
The gnome-wm script invokes the user selected window manager. If the user has not chosen a window manager it will try to launch a GNOME
compliant window manager.
The user can overwrite the selection of a window manager by setting the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable. If a --default-wm option is
given the script uses that window manager in case WINDOW_MANAGER is not set. If gnome-wm is given as the argument to --default-wm then it
is the same as if no default was given.
The script takes the --sm-client-id argument and translates the id to an appropriate option depending on which window manager was selected.
ENVIRONMENT
The gnome-wm program uses the value of the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable to let the user override the configured window manager.
PERSISTENT SETTINGS
The program stores the current selection of a window manager in the gconf key /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/default
SEE ALSO gnome-session(1),default.session(5)BUGS
If you find bugs in the gnome-wm program, please report these using bug-buddy or the gnome-bug script included with the GNOME libraries
distribution.
