Full Discussion: Routing command to another graphical terminal
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Routing command to another graphical terminal Post 302967650 by sea on Friday 26th of February 2016 02:24:00 AM

Try:
Code:
xfce4-terminal -e "nano example.txt"

If you're on a system with multiple terminal-applications, multiple users with their own preferences, and if TUI is installed, you could also try:

Code:
tui-edit example.txt
tui-terminal "tui-edit -c example.txt"

The first would open the textfile with the users favorite text editor, either GUI (gedit, geany...) or CLI (emacs, nano, vi..) (not limited to these named ones).
The second would open a new terminal (users favorite terminal app) and force tui-edit to open the textfile with the console editor in that new terminal window.

Hope this helps

xfce4-session-logout

xfce4-session-logout(1) 				      General Commands Manual					   xfce4-session-logout(1)

NAME

       xfce4-session-logout - Logs out from Xfce

SYNOPSIS

       xfce4-session-logout

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the xfce4-session-logout command.

       The  xfce4-session-logout  command allows you to programmatically logout from your Xfce session. It requests the session manager to display
       the logout confirmation screen, or, if given one of the command-line options below, causes the session manager to take the requested action
       immediately.

OPTIONS

       xfce4-session-logout takes the following command line options:

       --logout
	      Log out without displaying the logout dialog.

       --halt Halt without displaing the logout dialog.

       --reboot
	      Reboot without displaying the logout dialog.

       --suspend
	      Suspend without displaying the logout dialog.

       --hibernate
	      Hibernate without displaying the logout dialog.

       --fast Do a fast shutdown.  This instructs the session manager not to save the session, but instead to quit everything quickly.

       --help Print a help screen and exit.

       --version
	      Output version information and exit.
