I didn't use the same directory since I don't have it. But I created some file in /tmp starting with 2018. And I use this form of the script. #!/bin/bash # SambaFiles cd /tmp xfce4-terminal -H -x ls -clr 2018* & And created a launcher for that. Works fine. Also, I think you meant to type "ls -clr" and not "ls -ctr"? Yes, the -H is used to hold the window open. -- Cardinal Rule of Presentations: "Tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them, then tell them what you told them." _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
