How can I open pantheon-terminal with starting command to be executed? For example something like pantheon-terminal --start-with echo "Hello World!" should open new terminal window and execute the echo "Hello World!" command in it.

Is it possible to make something like that?

  • Can you expand on your use case as it's possible to have commands run when a shell starts (e.g. .bashrc), but your use case may be specific to using a terminal window in a particular context?

  • I don't want to run command everytime terminal starts. I wanted to make script that prepares my web testing enviroment (run selenium and node.js server). I wanted each of then run in separate terminal window for crash reports etc.

With io.elementary.terminal, which seems to be the new name, you might be able to do this using the -e flag. I've done something very similar with xfce4-terminal -e before, maybe that helps when looking for examples around the web. You can find this option in the manpage.

I know it's been quite a while, but.. Put the command you want it into the ~/.bashrc file.
