If you are using gnome, you can try these examples:
#open a new terminal and list current directory contents
gnome-terminal -x bash -c "ls; cat"

#open a new terminal and monitor system log
gnome-terminal -e "tail -f /var/log/messages"

#edit /etc/fstab in a newly-opened terminal
gnome-terminal -e "vi /etc/fstab"

Hope it helps.
