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"
a new gnome term is created, but it hangs without a bash prompt (or any
prompt) created.
so it appears that a useless blank term window is displayed. the "foo"
script is simply an empty script for testing. it has the chgrp of 777 with a
chown of 777 and a chmod of +x.
in the fstab, there is a default devpts so the virtual dev for the term
window should be ok.. i think.
i'm running an older fedora 9 for this test.
any pointers/thoughts...
thanks...
