Advanced users • Re: lxterminal commands

lxterminal is one command to open a terminal. Whether it it's run with & or not that is what it will do.*

When run as a foreground task (i.e. without &) the first terminal will be unresponsive until the second one is closed.

It might be easier to see if you try the following:

Code:

sleep 60jobssleep 60 &jobs
You should find you terminal unresponsive while the first sleep is running and nothing in the job list. While the second one is running your terminal will be responsive and you'll have a sleep command in the jobs list.

*: As long as you have a desktop running and your shell knows which desktop to connewct to.
