Hi! Shouldn't ... xfce4-terminal -e ls --hold ... give some output ? I am trying to start an xfce4-terminal and have it execute a bash script at the start. But regardless whatever I enter, nothing happens. Only a new terminal opens (in hold mode --hold) and no output at all. Expected behavior is, that it executes the program given as command option to xfce4-terminal -e <some command> --hold And while I am at it... xfce4-terminal --help ... outputs this ---------------------------------- Window or Tab Separators: --tab; --window Tab Options: -x, --execute; -e, --command=command; -T, --title=title; --working-directory=directory; -H, --hold ---------------------------------- shouldn't the latter be named "Window or Tab Options:" rather than "Tab Options:" only ? Because executing commands etc. not only affects TABS but also newly windows. gnome-terminal and xterm and various other terminals offer the -e command as well. XTerm works (tested). BTW: Thanks for the great xfce4-terminal work.
Sorry! My fault! Infact the -e Option works as supposed. The mistake was clearly on my side because one of my scripts expected an initial parameter on $1, which was missing and therefore exited.

I think "window options" are related to the window view: geometry, bars, etc. And these parameters are called "tab options" because they are related to what's happening to a terminal widget, i.e. a tab. > BTW: Thanks for the great xfce4-terminal work. Thank you!
