kde terminal options


using kde desktop menu editor, I created a shortcut for a terminal command, /etc/rc.d/init.d/apcupsd status
Now when I click it, a terminal window opens, runs the command and very quickly shuts. I see there is a "terminal options" box in the properties for the menu shortcut, any idea what can put in there to keep the terminal window open?

Thanks!

you maybe could try
Code:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/apcupsd status;read whatever
so it will wait until you type the value of the variable named "whatever"; pressing enter would finish.

Ok, I know this was posted some years back now but the question's still valid and I was wondering the same thing myself.

A KDE shortcut has properties, and one of these is "run in terminal" for which a "terminal options" box is present. These are the Konsole command-line options which are fully listed at http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebas...e-options.html.
Hope this helps!

Well done... great first (help) post.
Thus dave37 wants the "noclose" option.

Glad to have you man.
