GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 84272
-e COMMAND option not working correctly
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Using Gnome Terminal 1.4.0.4, the following command fails: gnome-terminal --geometry=80x60 -e 'ssh localhost' From the output of strace, it seems it's trying to exec '80x60'. However, this command does what you would expect: gnome-terminal --geometry=80x60 --command='ssh localhost' So I guess this is just an argument parsing problem, or maybe the help message describes the -e option wrong.
Does it work if you remove the '' around the ssh command?
