lxterminal: Open an LXTerminal window, run a command, and then exit.
$ lxterminal -e "${command}"
try on your machine
The command "lxterminal -e "${command}"" is used in Linux environments for launching a new instance of LXterminal with a specified command to run within it.
Here's a breakdown of the components of this command:
- "lxterminal" is the name of the terminal emulator program.
- "-e" is a flag that specifies the command to execute within the terminal.
- "${command}" is a variable representing the command that you want to run within the LXterminal.
In practice, when you run this command in a terminal, it will launch a new LXterminal window, and within that window, it will execute the command specified by the "${command}" variable.
For example, if you set "${command}" to be "ls -l", the command "lxterminal -e "${command}"" will open a new LXterminal window and execute the "ls -l" command within that window, displaying a detailed list of files and directories in the current directory.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
