myDSL Extensions (deprecated) :: error: Read-only filesystem when loading

I'm sure there must be a way, although i haven't seen it. There's nothing built into aterm that will do it, so it would need to be a bash built-in or some other command that takes aterm as an argument.

Anything wrong with just starting aterm without links? I always have at least one aterm open, for use with miscellaneous console apps.

The point is that the user wants to run the application, then see the result.

He doesn't know how to run it: that is why there is a link or icon.

If it exits without displaying the result then it's a bit pointless.

I can get something like it with a script file, but it's a very complicated way to do something obvious, and it doesn't work properly anyway.

I suppose that it should really be a bash option....

I can't see how to pass a command to aterm, which then terminates,
and still keeps the child terminal alive.
But I did have a lame-o idea.
How about just using the .lnk to pass instruction to the user
in the title bar of aterm and just start aterm.
You could make it catch the eye, along the lines of -

Command: aterm -T "!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE TYPE IN 'BLAHbinary', AND PRESS ENTER TO RUN PROGRAM !!!!!!!!!!" -e /bin/bash
Icon: .xtedesktop/BLAH.png

There is plenty of room......
Yes it's lame.....
Just a thought.

You say the script doesn't work?
What about something like this:

Code Sample

#!/bin/sh
programname
exec bash

Then launch the script with aterm -e scriptname

Yes that is what I have done. Also I append to the history file so that it is correctly in the history.

echo "progname" >>/home/dsl/.bash_history
