Basically you just have to create a script that initiates the command /bin/bash then if you want to run some specific command whe that shell opens you need to create a custom .bashrcCustom and pass it with the --rcfile option like this: #! /bin/sh /bin/bash --rcfile .myCustombashrc hope this helps someone -- gnome-terminal with --command option fails after first time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157266 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
