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.
A miniature shell-script on the commandline itself, telling it to run startvm.bsh first, then start a plain shell afterwards.
Thanks @corona688: I mean run gnome-terminal command which pop-up a gnome-terminal window. run & display the STDOUT of the startvm.bsh on the pop-up gnome-terminal for the purpose of displaying if command "vboxheadless ..." succesfully executed the VM then exit the script and then close the gnome-terminal window. Close all window(gnome-terminal) or shell etc. after displaying the STDOUT of the script but not affecting the command the script execute.
I already tried the command you give and succesfully powerof the vm and gnome-terminal won't close since another bash shell holding it. But as soon as the gnome-terminal close the same as the VM.(Its like sending a close signal to the command they executed before). I already tried putting "&" to background command but still no success.

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)
