I might be mistaken on what your trying to accomplish but heres a way to
do this. You will need to 'screen' package so type, then read the man
page on it, very easy to use.
sudo apt-get install screen
Heres how you do this. (A snip of code from our scripts)
screen -AdmS server /srv/serv/linux-start.sh
you would type...
screen -AdmS windowname directorytoscript-or-whatyouwanttorun
screen is a very very useful program, be sure to read the man page. Its
not hard to learn and will help you with bash shells.
Regards,
