 |
|
Hi all,
Wondering if anyone knows a way of keeping a terminal window open after a command has been run.
I've tried doing the following, without success.
| Code: |
xfce4-terminal -e /usr/bin/command |
thanks

Example:
To run "top" type into Applications > Run Program > xfce4-terminal -H -e=top and hit Enter.
Or create a Desktop Launcher to run "top":
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Top
Name=Command Name
Comment=
Exec=xfce4-terminal -H -e=top
Icon=weather-clear
Path=
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true |

thanks that works, although I would also like to have it default back to the terminal after running the command.
any ideas?

Don't know. I use it to run a custom written program, read the output and then manually close the terminal. |

Found a way 
Create a binary /usr/local/bin/kopen
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
$@
/bin/bash |
make file executable and set SUID.
Then add this to your .desktop file
| Code: | | Exec=xfce4-terminal -x kopen script |
