Ubuntu: How can I make a script that opens terminal windows and executes commands in them? Question: I have three scripts I need to run when I start up my Ubuntu machine, they start services I use in my development environment. To do that, I manually open three terminals and type in the commands. Is there any way to create a script that will open three terminals and execute one command in each of these? (Each command should be in a separate terminal window so I can see their output). Solutions Sample (Please watch the whole video to see all solutions, in order of how many people found them helpful): == This solution helped 125 people == gnome-terminal -e command or xterm -e command or konsole -e command Pretty much terminal -e command *** To make the terminal stay when the command exits: *** In konsole there is a --noclose flag. In xterm, there is a -hold flag. In gnome-terminal, go to Edit -＞ Profile Preferences -＞ Title. Click the Command tab. Select Hold the terminal from the drop-down menu labelled When command exits. You should create a new profile for that and execute with gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=NAMEOFTHEPROFILE -e command == This solution helped 1 person == commenting for the answer by Lekensteyn. I know this is a old post, but for anyone who finds this useful (as I just did) Instead of making another "hacky script" with just put a function inside the script you are calling hacky_function() { "$@" exec "$SHELL" } Call your script with "x-terminal-emulator -e /path/to/script hacky_function optional arguments here" Don't forget to put "$@" at the end of the script With thanks & praise to God!
