Bash : Hold gnome-terminal open, get history and regain control after exit
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
I wrote a script which open a new terminal ( gnome ) and a bunch of tabs (
40 more or less ), which is supposed to run infinitly. It could crash, and it does, and I would like to easily rerun the injected command from the same tab.
It look like this :
script='gnome-terminal'
tab='--tab-with-profile=scan'
for (( i = 0; i < len; i+=2 ));
do
script+=" $tab --title="$you[i]" -e "bash -c 'node scan $you[i+1]; bash;'""
done
eval "$script" $>/dev/null
&& kill -9 $PPID
|| errorProfile
I have set on the profile the option "hold open on stop", but I can't retrieve my command as it is not pushed in history. The very minimal repro for this look like this :
gnome-terminal -e 'bash -c "ls; bash"'
I have tried a few stuff, from
gnome-terminal -e 'bash -c "history -s ls; bash"'
to
gnome-terminal -e 'bash -c ". ~/bashrc; ls; bash"'
But nothing work, and my history is not filled with the -c arg.
My understanding is that running bash inside a terminal create a session which is not related to the parent terminal, and as I need to use it to run command in my freshly created terminal, maybe this is an unsolvable problem ?
In addition:
- Can we regain control on a terminal when the profile option "hold open when process finish" ?
- Is it possible to not use the profile option to manage this, but instead trap signal to do what I want ?

You probably notice the && kill -9 $PPID . I use it because my gnome-terminal is not opening a new window to launch all my tabs, but instead launch tabs next to him, even with the new-terminal-mode : window in dconf-editor activated. This happen after an upgrade from Ubuntu 16 to 18. Is it an expected behaviour ?

You probably notice the && kill -9 $PPID . I use it because my gnome-terminal is not opening a new window to launch all my tabs, but instead launch tabs next to him, even with the new-terminal-mode : window in dconf-editor activated. This happen after an upgrade from Ubuntu 16 to 18. Is it an expected behaviour ?
