A simpler solution if you (rhet.) just want to run a command automatically in gnome-terminal and then wait for more commands, is, instead of starting "bash" (or $SHELL) by default, specify that gnome-terminal should run the command: bash --rcfile <(cat ~/.bashrc; echo "some_commands") That would run "some_commands" as part of the shell initialization, though it wouldn't wait for confirmation or line editing and it wouldn't print what you're running without also doing some explicit echo/printf or set -x. Kind of a confusing way to do things, but it could get the job done. -- Eli Schwartz Arch Linux Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
