Substitute your terminal name for "terminator"

it is giving command not found

Then replace the word 'terminator' with 'xterm':

xterm -e mc

You should really be a bit more detailed in your questions. What exactly do you want to do? What commands do you need to run, and why do you want to run them in a new console? What environment are you doing this in (OS, shell, etc.)?

Also, please try to read the answers you get thoroughly and do some work to figure out problems yourself. cortman said clearly 'Substitute your terminal name for "terminator"', and the error you got was "command not found", which means that the program terminator isn't available to you (probably because it isn't installed).

So either ensure that that program is installed and available, or use a different console program. You probably want to use the one you're already using anyway. Check the documentation for whichever one you decide on to confirm that the syntax is ok too (although all the major ones should conform to the "-e" option).
