Can I set terminals' default directory to each different ones?

mshlinux · 07-02-2013, 05:38 AM

I have 3 terminals on my Debian wheezy.
they are Gnome Terminal, Terminator and Guake.

Can I set their default directories to each different ones.
Eg:
I want to set Gnome Terminal's default directory to ~/Desktop ,
Terminator default directory to ~/Download and
Guake's default directory to ~/mybin .

how can I do it?

Just some ideas.

Maybe the $0 variable could help. Dunno if it will be set different but worth a try. Or check out the $SHELL enviroment variable. Just check out the output of the env command and see where the three differ.
Then edit your .bashrc or .profile file inside your home directory.
