Bash: opening a new terminal window and having it run a command

[shakin]

Simple question: I have a bash script that needs to open a gnome terminal and pass in a command as a paramater.

eg.

gnome-terminal 'vi filename'

but of course that example doesn't work.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks.

e.g. gnome-terminal -e 'ssh root@foo.bar'

~$ man gnome-terminal
> -e, --command=STRING
> Execute the argument to this option inside the terminal.

works the same with xterm, konsole, ...

Thanks, but that actually didn't work. It launched the new window but failed to execute any commands. I did get it to work with the -x option:

gnome-terminal -x ssh root@foo.bar
