Description Nate Graham 2017-02-20 00:09:06 UTC 
When you open gnome-terminal with -e <some command>, it executes the command and then immediately closes, which causes the following issues:

1. You might have wanted to examine the output before it closed.
2. You might have wanted to use that same terminal window to do stuff (for example, re-run the same command).

There are various workarounds that can resolve #1 (e.g. append ";bash" or "|| read" to the command) but none of them will resolve #2.

It would be nice if you could pass an additional arg to gnome-terminal to make it stay open after the command you asked it to run has completed.
