Wondering if there is a way to make "gnome-terminal -x <cmd>" wait until the command terminates before returning? For instance, when using xterm: $ xterm -e vi tmpfile ; rm tmpfile The tmpfile won't be deleted until the user has had a chance to read it in vi and quit the editor. However, if you try the same thing with gnome-terminal: $ gnome-terminal -x vi tmpfile ; rm tmpfile The user never gets to read the tmpfile because it has been deleted before vi actually gets a chance to start. Is there is a way to tell gnome-terminal to behave like xterm and not return until the command has been run in the terminal to completion?
