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).
It's not sending a 'close command', just informing it that whatever ran it is finished. It takes that to mean it has nothing left to do, and quits.

Hi all,
I have a shell script which uses "mailx -H" to get the subject of a email in a Linux system.

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

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.
