"xterm -e ls" and then I want that the xterm window wait
 
Hi,

I want to shut the command:

"xterm -e ls"

and then I want that the xterm wait until I close window or press some key...

How can I do that?

Code:
xterm -e "ls;read"
--ET

add: read -p "Press any key to close window…"

I found the solution by my self:

Any way, thanks for the answers.

That's one of the great things about *nix in general, there are a half dozen ways to approach any problem :)
