Gnome-terminal equivalent to "konsole --noclose -e"

[454redhawk]

Greetings

Can someone tell me the Gnome-terminal equivalent to "konsole --noclose -e"

I want to launch a terminal and command in gnome and have the window stay open after the command is finished. I prefer to use gnome-terminal.

I know how to do it with xterm and konsole.

Thanks

454redhawk,

Open a new gnome-terminal. Navigate to Edit->Preferences. Click on the "Title and Command" tab. There's a spinbox labeled "when command exits", change it from "exit the terminal" to "hold the terminal open".

That works. Thanks

However, What if I wanted to include that into a script? Is there an option I could use to create a profile with that option so it will run on any gnome computer? (without using read)

Thanks

454redhawk,

Bash:

echo "Hit any key to continue..."
read

I guess I was posting as you were editing. ;)

Is there any reason you can't use read?

One example comes to mind

Without writing a script I could associate *.par2 files (in nautilus) with a command executed in a terminal and have that window stay open to see the results. By double clicking a par2 file the window will open and the command executed.


In konquer I select settings-->configure konqueor-->File associations--->Add--->par2--->Add----> I add *.par2 and then in all caps *.PAR2------>Click Add under application preference order---->"konsole --noclose -e par2 r"

That will enable me to double click par2 files and a konsole window will open and verify and repair if needed. The window will stay open when finished so I can be sure all went well.

How can I accomplish this in Gnome? Without a script.
I have already created a nice little GUI zenity script to Verify , Repair & Create par2 files but would like to simply double click a par2 file.

Thanks

454redhawk,

I don't think you'll be able to accomplish this without scripts in GNOME.

Nautilus can be extended with scripts through nautilus-actions (http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/gnome/nautilus-actions), just in case you haven't heard of it.

I Am checking out nautilus-actions right now.

A guy over in the Gnome forums suggested


gnome-terminal -x bash -c "ls; cat"

where "ls" is the command you want to run.

That has the desired effect

Thanks

Thanks, I needed this for SPE to launch python files so that users still can see the output. It works like a charm.

Is there any reason for not setting up an alternate profile for tasks like that and using:


gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=xxxxx


?

This is something you can do on your own computer, but when you distribute a program for others, you don't want to interfere by adding profiles in their system.

Ahh, ok. Didn't catch the context. (Brain's in learning-common-lisp-land today)
