Can anyone tell me the Gnome-terminal equivalent to "konsole --noclose -e"

I want to launch a terminal and command in gnome and have the window stay open after the command is finished.

Thanks

what distro are you using?
some have that option already I use suse 10.1 and have no issues with my terminal emulation in gnome

Using Ubuntu.

I frequently use this option in KDE (MEPIS) but cant seem to find the right option for gnome-terminal

The hold option is for Xterm
The noclose option is for konsole
What is it for gnome-terminal?

Are you saying you can issue a command in a script (or whatever) for gnome-terminal and have the new window it creates stay open after execution? I am aware of the ability to use read in a script to hold the process. However this is not how I want to use it.

Thanks

ok I must have misunderstood
I thought your problem was from the terminal line after executing a command

no I have not had the terminal stay open after script execution
I have not had a need to do so

I will look into it and let you know if I find anything

Thanks for your attention.

Create shell script e.g. shell.sh:

#!/bin/bash
$@
/bin/bash

and call it that way:

gnome-terminal -x shell.sh <my command, e.g. pwd>

If you want several commands to be executed and want to have a log displaying the arguments that arrived in shell.sh the latter should look like:

#!/bin/bash
echo $@ > shell.log
echo $@ | /bin/bash
/bin/bash

This way, the argument gets another round of substitution (mainly interesting to chop commands on ';' and to execute them one by one) and you would call it that way:

gnome-terminal -x shell.sh pwd \; echo nase

You have to quote the semicolon here. Otherwise the 'echo nase' is executed in the primary shell. The second form surely works for single commands too.
