Bash script creates terminal that persists for further work

  • 772

Some similar posts did not clear up this question:

How do I create a terminal from inside a bash script, giving initial commands (e.g. df, pwd etc) and allowing me to keep working on it after the script ended?

Normally the terminal is killed after an optional command (gnome-terminal -x ...).

gnome-terminal  --working-directory="$HOME/Documents"

is not working for some reason.

Specifically I want to mount a partition via script and work on its files afterwards.

I use Ubu 20.04, Gnome 3.36.8. Thanks!

  1. Something like:

    gnome-terminal --working-directory=$HOME/Documents -- sh -c "df ; pwd ; bash"

    may do what you want. For me, the option --working-directory works as expected, but if it does not for you, you can include a cd command after sh -c.
