Greetings! I have a question about creating a custom application launcher in Ubuntu.<br><br>So most of us are probably fairly well experienced with creating launchers in the Gnome panel that allow us to quickly launch our favorite and most used applications. What about when you wish to launch a command line application and have the terminal stay open and active, even after the command has executed?<br>
<br>For instance, let's say that I am trying to launch the following command:<br>$ nmap --help<br><br>I've been trying to create a panel launcher that will open up gnome-terminal and execute the command "nmap --help". I can either get gnome-terminal to open and the command is not executed, or nothing at all will happen.<br>
<pre dir="ltr" style="border: 1px inset ; margin: 0px; padding: 6px; overflow: auto; width: 640px; height: 34px; text-align: left;">gnome-terminal nmap --help</pre><br>I've looked at the following two guides on creating panel launchers:<br>
<a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/user-guide/C/launchers.html" target="_blank">https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/user-guide/C/launchers.html</a><br><a href="http://library.gnome.org/users/user-guide/stable/launchers-properties.html.en" target="_blank">http://library.gnome.org/users/user-guide/stable/launchers-properties.html.en</a><br>
<br>Also, I have tried shearn89's suggestion of creating an alternate gnome-terminal profile, etc.:<br><a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=540353" target="_blank">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=540353</a> <br>
<pre dir="ltr" style="border: 1px inset ; margin: 0px; padding: 6px; overflow: auto; width: 640px; height: 34px; text-align: left;">gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=XXXXXX -e nmap --help</pre><br>So far, this has given me the best results; however, only a portion of the nmap help is displayed, and then the terminal is in a locked state (can't type or do anything to the terminal other than close it). <br>
<br>Still searching for a valid solution. Anyone have any suggestions?<br><br>Thanks for your help!<br><font color="#888888"><br>- Darrin
