Hello,
How would I start gnome-terminal so that it don't automatically background
itself?
For example, I'd like to have something like that:
#!/bin/sh
gnome-terminal -e wget http://some-host/some-large-tarball.tar.gz
echo "Done"
The problem is, that gnome-terminal hands over the command to
gnome-terminal-server and exits immediately. This effectively behaves as if
gnome-termial would background itself and the echo command is
executed immediately instead of waiting until the download is done
Thanks,
