Hey, folks -
I need to find a way to kick off an xterm running BASH and then execute a program within that xterm, but NOT close the new xterm after the program finishes. Another desirable thing would be to also be able to 'source in' a file of shell environment that would affect the new window and shell.
bash --rc-file \ file_that_contains_the_environment_i_want_and_the_command_i_want_to_run
If you mean that you want the xterm to continue running the same instance of bash. I don't think xterms run without the benefit of a program to emulate a terminal for.
That's what I don't want to do. I could cat the rcfile and the command in a temp file, but that runs the risk of leaving junk around in /tmp. I'm actually eval'ing this command from another larger program and passing prog-to-be-run from it's argument string after a -e switch. This is to be generalized; I don't know what prog-to-be-run is going to be.
