and know that it works. If you don't use exec, it won't.
I don't see why exec would be necessary. As long as the emulator supports
being given any simple command as its -e option, such commands should work.
Is "simple command" a term from POSIX?
Yes (see

).
It makes me think of simple
commands passed to the shell, which is the opposite of the intended
meaning. (e.g., “x-terminal-emulator -e vi 'some file'” is meant to
open 'some file' for editing, not two files named "some" and "file"
like “ssh localhost vi 'some file'” would do).
FWIW, I understand the parenthesis, but I don't really understand what
you're saying.
