Run script in new terminal

Hi Guys,

I have a script that runs certain simulations in batch mode. I need to schedule some simulations to run over night.
For each simulation to complete it should be run in separate terminal.

My script is as follows

sh run_test.sh <arg1> <arg2> <arg3> ...

I need to launch this command in a separate terminal so I use :

gnome-terminal --window -e "sh run_test.sh <arg1> <arg2> <arg3> ..."

I tried:
gnome-terminal --window -e "sh run_test.sh <arg1> <arg2> <arg3> ..."


But it does not work. The terminal is opened for a fraction of second then close immediately.

Kindly advise.

Thanks
