Open terminal/enter command from .sh file?

[jmadero]

Hi All,

I have a really strange program that I have to run from terminal. The file is in a long path (something like /usr/intel/...../...../...../....../...........). It's annoying having to type it out every time I want to use it in terminal.

If I make a direct path to it with ./program in terminal, it runs no problem. If I do the same thing in a launcher, nothing happens. I guess it requires a terminal to compile (never had software like that before).

So for now I've made a lame attempt at a roundabout fix, made an executable on my desktop which calls it so now at least all I have to do is type bash Desktop/something.sh and it runs no problem.

What I'd like is an executable which opens up a terminal and then pastes the whole command inside. This way I could click on a launcher, see the terminal open, have the command pasted immediately and entered so the program runs.

Thanks all!

I don't know what terminal emulator you are using but with xterm you could do this:

xterm -hold -e "command"

This will tell xterm to open and execute "-e" the named command and leave the window open "-hold"

xterm -hold -e "command"
