Try this: # echo "echo hello" >/tmp/foo # echo "sleep 1000000" >>/tmp/foo # chmod 755 /tmp/foo # gnome-terminal -e /tmp/foo On my system, that results in a new gnome-terminal opening, containing the word "hello". If that works, then there is something wrong with your script and not gnome-terminal. -- Sam -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
