simple bash question: how to script into new shell?

I want to have a script that opens a new terminal and calls some commands. I am to stupid. :oops:

Re: simple bash question: how to script into new shell?

a new terminal? try "xterm -e"

as in:

# xterm -e "ls -rl /dev"

... well, this was it. Thank you. I was sure, the terminal would stay up, but it is closed after running the commands. Last issue. smile

Re: simple bash question: how to script into new shell?

hmmm, well what are you trying to do? you could pop up the terminal and output whatever it is through "less"

# xterm -e "ls -lr /dev | less"

and the output will be there until you hit "q"

though you may need some other options to less to have it read from stdin

Use "read" to wait for input (e.g. enter).

xterm -e "ls -lr /dev; read"

Or maybe you want to use 'xmessage' as in:

'ls -lr /dev | xmessage -file -'

That pops up a nice little window containing the command output with an 'Okay' button to close it down again.

*Smack*

This should be ok. I was tired of typing "makepkg foobar", and so I wrote a tiny dirty nautilus script to do that for me. Unfortunately, it worked in the background. Not bad, if you KNOW your package is ok, but in case of errors.

Thank you all.  smile

hmm sounds like an interesting idea... i don't use nautilus myself... but i could see it being cool to double click a PKGBUILD file and have it run makepkg...

Another idea:

aterm -e bash -c "ls -l; bash"

This runs bash after last command so you can still play with the aterm window  roll
