如何打开一个gnome终端来执行gnome-terminal命令，不断？

Question

I have a sh file which includes those lines:

gnome-terminal\
  --tab\
    --title="ElasticSearch"\
    --working-directory="/home/username/program/bin"\
    -e "bash -c './somecommand'"\

when I run it, a gnome terminal will open and run a command for me. The problem is, when I press ctrl+c to stop the running command, the terminal closed. Is there a way to stop the running command and keep the terminal alive? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Your command works fine but the gnome-terminal closes after the somecommand terminates, the reason being gnome-terminal not running the bash as it's default shell.

To get the bash prompt( $ ) after the command command completes, you need to trigger it back.

-e "bash -c ./somecommand;bash"\

Answer 2

-e has since been deprecated. Use gnome-terminal -- somecommand now.
