Hi.
I'm trying to create/invoke a new gnome-terminal, were i start/run a script
when the term starts up..
from the gnome-terminal docs, i'm assuming i can accomplish this by using
the "-x/-e" attribute when i fire up gnome-terminal...
this doesn't work... others appear to have the same issue...
so, when i do:
gnome-terminal -x "foo"
I don't know what you are doing, but I don't think it's right. Try this:
# echo "echo hello" >/tmp/foo
# echo "sleep 1000000" >>/tmp/foo
# chmod 755 /tmp/foo
# gnome-terminal -e /tmp/foo
On my system, that results in a new gnome-terminal opening, containing
the word "hello". If that works, then there is something wrong with
your script and not gnome-terminal.
