I believe I mentioned I wouldn't optimize that script I just posted if I ran across a better solution.... :-)
Next window I opened.. http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57446 #!/bin/bash # USAGE: # # rename this script to XXX-newterminal to start new terminal window # with cmd=XXX and args=as passed (e.g., XXX=mutt) # when cmd completes, terminal window will close. #GEOMETRY="-geometry 120x40" TERMINAL="x-terminal-emulator" CMD=$(basename "$0") CMD="${CMD%*-newterminal}" exec $TERMINAL $GEOMETRY -e "$CMD" "$@" #################### END ################# Not tested yet but it looks promising Jeff Kinz
