In the current case the command exec will replace the current process image with a new process image - in other words it will 'kill' the current process and will execute a new ( bash) under the current PID. There are another possible approaches to do that. The second command exec bash has a meaning - remain open the current gnome-terminal window. The first command will execute that we want. We have two separated (by semicolon = new line). That means we execute a new bash shell, which should run some -c ''. The option -x means -execute - the remainder of the command line inside the terminal.Īnd our command is bash -c ''. I would prefer to use the option -x that provides more reliable work than -e: gnome-terminal -x bash -c ' exec bash' If you look at man gnome-terminal (and gnome-terminal -help) the options -x and -e are available (and it is not explicitly written they are deprecated) but all examples there are given by the syntax provided above. You seem to be confusing terminals (programs that provide a text environment) and shells (usually text-based, often run inside a terminal). If you want to reach the users home directory within the above command use the environment variable $HOME: bash -c 'cd $HOME/.
