how do I specifiy a command on the commmandline of bash which shall be executed once inside the new bash after reading ~/.bashrc -- But all this without letting bash exit after the command is finished?
I'm fiddling around with a "boot-up-configuration" for terminator where some splits should start some applications (vim, mutt, irrsi) after startup. But I still want normal shells in the background (ctrl-z and so on...) so after quitting an application I have the same shell which I had during the eapplications lifetime...
What does not work for me (based on given answers)
( bash; vim ) # vim waits for the exit of bash...
bash -c vim # bash exits after vims exit...
bash -c 'vim; exec bash' # bash is executed _after_ vim... ctrl-z won't work
echo vim | bash -s # "Vim: Warning: Input is not from a terminal"
Manually appending "vim" to a temporary bashrc does not work either. vim starts up correctly, but there is still no background bash present where a ctrl-z would bring me to.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot. I prefer
unset PROMPT_COMMAND
rather thanexport PROMPT_COMMAND=
, though. – Peque – 2015-07-20T17:04:52.423
