BASH Scripting

[David Bowskill]

Hello All

Could someone kindly please tell me how to write a BASH script, which
opens up a terminal (easy) and, in that opened terminal, runs a
pre-existing program.
Thanks

David

Here's a start:

#!/bin/sh
# Assumes you use gnome2 - might be different on Unity; will be
different on KDE
# Quoting might need to be different if your command has quotes
gnome-terminal -t "Window Title" -e "command to run" &

Run 'man gnome-terminal' for more options...

Thanks Paul - very simple when one knows how.
Cheers
