xfce4-terminal: Execute a command in a new terminal window.
$ xfce4-terminal --command "${command_with_args}"
try on your machine

This command is used to open a new instance of the Xfce4 Terminal application and execute a specific command with arguments within that terminal. Here is the breakdown of the command: - xfce4-terminal: This is the command to launch the Xfce4 Terminal application.

  • --command: This flag specifies that a command should be executed within the terminal.
  • "${command_with_args}": This is a placeholder for the actual command with its arguments that you want to execute within the terminal. The ${command_with_args} should be replaced with an actual command and its arguments enclosed in quotes. For example, if you want to execute the command ls -l within the Xfce4 Terminal, you would replace ${command_with_args} with "ls -l", resulting in the following command: xfce4-terminal --command "ls -l" When you run this command, it will open a new instance of the Xfce4 Terminal and execute the ls -l command within that terminal.
