Run command in new gnome-terminal and .bashrc

http://askubuntu.com – I'm trying to launch one command in a new gnome-terminal window from a shell script, and it seems that my .bashrc file doesn't get sourced when calling gnome-terminal and executing a command: gnome-terminal -t "my title" -e vim But it does when launching gnome-terminal alone: gnome-terminal -t "my title" (for testing purposes, just add a echo "something" to the end of the .bashrc) I also tried explicitly sourcing the .bashrc before running vim with no success: gnome-terminal -t "my title" -x $SHELL -c "source $HOME/.bashrc; vim" Am I missing something? (HowTos)

Stories similar to Run command in new gnome-terminal and .bashrc

I am curious since "Run command as a login shell" is UNTICKED (I think for all new users) under Gnome Terminal -> Menu Bar -> Profiles -> Edit -> Title and Command , BUT .bash_profile is sourced. I thought .bashrc should be sourced instead ?

I don't know about sourcing your .bashrc in gnome, but you are probably better off moving your PATH definition to your .bash_profile, before you source the .bashrc.

I would like to be able to click on SSH links that look like ssh://user@servername and have a gnome-terminal open that runs SSH inside of it.

After reading up on the XDG stuff I did the following:

I created a shell script in $HOME/bin/ssh-terminal with the following:

#!/bin/sh dest=${1#ssh://} gnome-terminal -e "ssh $dest" &

This works from the command line.

I created $HOME/.local/share/

I am running Fedora 17 gnome (shell) 3 and gnome terminal 3.4.1.1.

I am a user of both gnome-terminal and midnight commander. As default gnome-terminal has always used F10 (which I need while using mc), to opening the top menu. So was this time.

hi,

I would like to ask about using gnome-terminal command, I had a script that will run my VBOX VM in headless and i want to display the output(STDOUT) on the gnome-terminal window. The purpose that i want to display the STDOUT of the script cause i will used it or create a desktop shortcut for one click start all and want a visual display of the script running all the VM's for confirmation.

I am running Unity 2D on a laptop with an integrated graphics card. The terminal is having trouble dealing with lots of text. For example, if i enter the following in a gnome-terminal:

while [ 1 ]; do echo 'hi'; done

the result is that my system is bogged down so much that it takes a few seconds to switch workspaces to or from the workspace with the offending terminal.

I manage about 15 servers that all run Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit

I use gnome-terminal to ssh into them. When I log in, the gnome-terminal tab title changes to "anachrophile@hostname: ~" on all except one server.

What triggers gnome-terminal to change the tab title when I run ssh? What would be different about that one server?

kill commmand 37 weeks 23 hours ago

wanted to use the kill command to exit from the gnome termial....wanted to kill the terminal....i decided to use the kill command from the terminal, and i used the pid number for my gnome terminal, got it from the top command.., and priority 1 , and used the -s option,....kill -s......it killed the gnome terminal i was using, but it also eliminated my tabs ontop of the desktop, so i could not get

So I am editing bashrc constantly, and I have a terminal open with a working function definition, although bashrc has been updated with a wrong function definition. (Because the definition do not change until I source the updated bashrc) How can I look up the working function definition in this case? For example, if I type:

alias function_name

I can see what the definition is for that alias.
