Description Kartik Subbarao 2017-07-13 20:13:36 UTC
When I use the -e option in gnome-terminal 3.24 on Fedora 26, I get this warning message:

=====
Option “-e” is deprecated and might be removed in a later version of gnome-terminal.
Use “-- ” to terminate the options and put the command line to execute after it.
=====

The problem with this is that the "--" option won't work for a particular type of scenario:

gnome-terminal --tab -e "ssh host1" --tab -e "ssh host2"

I want to be able to pre-open multiple tabs with ssh sessions to a different host in each tab. Is it possible to still do this with non-deprecated options? If not, can this be fixed before deprecating the -e option?

I agree, let's keep some option for this scenario.
Comment 2 Brian J. Murrell 2019-11-05 21:51:43 UTC
Can we have the deprecation warning message removed from gnome-terminal then?

No you cannot.  For whatever reason when I hover over the Notifications "toggle" my mouse cursor changes to a circle with a line through it and I cannot toggle that on.
