I am running Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco). I use ctrl+alt+t
to launch a terminal window. From that window, I would like to launch a separate window that runs a command, say ls. My thoughts are that I would type gnome-terminal -- ls
and it would work, but it a new window is not launched.
That said, if I simply type in gnome-terminal
and hit enter, a new window launches (but without running the command I would like to be run in a separate window.
The overall requirements are very strict, because what I what I am doing. (I am actually trying to launch this window via an ssh connection, running as root, in a root Desktop session)
