UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers

It is hard to explain a problem when i don't get an error. The created terminal window got open and got closed instant. I only saw a flash of the new terminal window. but i get this solved now with adding #!/bin/bash
Please read my last post again. The problem now is that the "echo" command gets executed at the same time the subscript gets executed, but it needs to wait until the terminal window of the subscript gets closed. How can i get this done ?


Thank you.

Try like

Code:

x-terminal-emulator -hold -e ls; echo test

This doesn't close the xterm window, and echo test is executed only after xterm is closed by external action.

The LXTerminal doesn't have the -hold option. Do i need to switch to a other terminal emulator like xterm in that case ?

I know that i need to add exit to close the terminal window of the subscript.

That is far more useful to know than nothing.
That is also far more useful to know than nothing.

Thanks for the Help,


I noticed that it is not possible to execute scripts and -hold in the LXTerminal. The -hold option doesnt exist in LXTerminal.


This solution works now:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
#mainscript

xterm -e "./abc.sh"
echo "test"

Code:

#!/bin/bash
#subscript

echo "ABC"
echo "DEF"
read -p "Press any key to close this window"

Thank's to all for the help!

Making fools out of people in here doesn't really help. You mentioned problems with xterm explicitly in post #1 before editing it away. lxterminal showed up in post #10 only. Waste of time, yours and ours.

I did only try to clarify my problem. It was not my intention to make fools out of any people.
