Hey, Zaizeku, The "rm" is the command, and the "-r /home/zaizeku/Desktop/test.txt" is the arguments.
So following code shall be work: ... pipes.StartInfo.FileName = "rm"; pipes.StartInfo.Arguments = "-r /home/zaizeku/Desktop/test.txt"; ... Moreover, if you want to execute a complex command, I think "sh" (i.e. /usr/bin/sh) would be better than "gnome-terminal", and the code would be: ... Process pipes = new Process(); string command = "rm -r /home/zaizeku/Desktop/test.txt"; string tmpScript = "/tmp/cmd.txt"; File.WriteAllText(tmpScript , command); pipes.StartInfo.FileName = "sh"; pipes.StartInfo.Arguments = tmpScript ; pipes.Start(); ... BTW, ur question is not related to gtk-sharp, I think the mono mail-list is a better place to ask such question. B.R.
