Eterm...

When executed how can I get Eterm to open in another directory other than my home directory? I've been reading over the man pages and can't find anything for it.

maybe put

Code:

cd <directory>

in your .bashrc? it would run that command everytime a shell is opened

That's not what I'm looking for. I have three Eterm configs. One is for regular usage, defaults to normal size and $HOME. Second is for irssi which opens Eterm in a custom size and executes irssi. Third (the one I'm asking help on) I want Eterm to open in a custom size and it's default directory to be $HOME/Torrents. If I did it in a .bashrc or profile it would do that for all three.

Code:

$ alias zterm='cd /home/mara  && xterm'

Thanks. That's what I did with out the use of an alias.

Code:

[exec] (BitTorrent) {cd $HOME/Torrents && Eterm --geometry 99x12 --borderless --buttonbar 0 --title BitTo
rrent}
