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... -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
