how to run a terminal command that will open in a new terminal automatically

floorripper · 06-17-2013, 07:32 AM

Hello,

I am trying to log in into a device.

I have written a script which logs me in into another system,router via ssh.
When go to the router, and I make "show users" I see my new established ssh session on the new VTY. So he makes it subtle.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
#
clogin $1

clogin is my automatic login script, which comes from a Rancid package,it runs on echo,expect. But that's run fine. It also takes the variable. TCP session is established but I do not see it in the new terminal.
That's the main point. I need it to open a new window automatically and to log me in this window.

this line runs a terminal emulator on the current display and executes SSH in it:

Code:

x-terminal-emulator -e 'ssh localhost.localdomain' &

hello, thanks, this one works fine thank you!!! One last question how to use it with gnome-terminal, so i can use my default font/color settings and so one.

I have tried

Code:

nohup /usr/bin/gnome-terminal -e clogin $1 &

but that does not work

Hello yes this works fine for a GUI gnome terminal emulator:

Code:

nohup x-terminal-emulator  -e clogin $1 &

tank you so much guys, this script works unless I have route to the desired subnet. I will try to modify it when wee need to use a "hopping station". Then I will post again.
