how to open a new terminal

kushkothari · 10-21-2008, 01:19 AM

I want to ssh to server and open this in a new terminal
like

/*shell code*/
ssh user@server
/*shell code*/

I want to get a new window for the server and continue working with my shell script.

you want this:

Code:

xterm -e 'ssh user@server'

Thanks for the reply
that's what i want but I have problem when i use this I won't be able to work in original terminal like
xterm -e 'ssh -t user@server ssh node1'
xterm -e 'ssh -t user@server ssh node2'

I have these two commands to run in shell script but after executing the first one it's open a new window but second command won't get executed until I close the first one

I want something which will open a window and will come back to my original window and run another command.

please tell me how to do this?

Just put it in background:

Code:

xterm -e 'ssh -t user@server ssh node1' &
xterm -e 'ssh -t user@server ssh node2'

ya it's working now

I am facing one more problem which is not related to terminal but it's related to ssh.

like in the following command if after "ssh node1" I want to give some command say: cd abc and then ls in abc how can I do that
xterm -e 'ssh -t user@server ssh node1'
