    how do I run a .sh file with terminal

    Hi, I was trying to make my minecraft srever run at startup, (it's craftbukkit-1.4.5). Right now I have the startup applications runing my .sh file to start it:
    Code:
    !#/bin/sh
    cd /home/[user]/[subfolder]/[folder]
    sh bukkit.sh
    and my bukkit.sh is:
    Code:
    #!/bin/sh
     BINDIR=$(dirname "$(readlink -fn "$0")")
     cd "$BINDIR"
     /home/kinetos/java/jre1.7.0_09/bin/java -Xmx6144M -Xms6144M -jar craftbukkit-1.4.5-R0.2.jar -o true
    but whenever it runs at startup, the terminal doesn't open, and my minecraft server is running without any way for me to run commands as [server].
    How can I edit my .sh files to open terminal and keep it running?

    Thanks for any help,
    ~Kinetos

    use screen


    Code:
    #!/bin/sh
     BINDIR=$(dirname "$(readlink -fn "$0")")
     cd "$BINDIR"
     screen /home/kinetos/java/jre1.7.0_09/bin/java -Xmx6144M -Xms6144M -jar craftbukkit-1.4.5-R0.2.jar -o true

    then to get to the session use

    Code:
    screen -r

    If you want to keep the terminal open, instead of calling the script directly, try running the terminal first:
    Code:
    gnome-terminal --command=/path/to/bukkit.sh
