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:

-hold

Any way, thanks for the answers.
