So you want the command to run, and then once the command finishes, drop to a shell?
That works when you type it because it doesn't hit EOF once startvm.bsh finishes -- there's already another shell running, waiting for the keyboard. But when you run it as a command, your program is the only thing running. It hits a very literal 'end of file', decides its time to quit, and when it does there's absolutely nothing left running at all -- causing the terminal to quit.
If you want it to run another shell after, tell it to run another shell after.
How about this?
A miniature shell-script on the commandline itself, telling it to run startvm.bsh first, then start a plain shell afterwards.

I have tried "stty columns"... (7 Replies)
