i want to open a new terminal and execute a script immediately to it (to set a title in the new tab) and i cannot configure this. I try:
gnome-terminal --tab-with-profile=$varname -x ./test.sh -c "script -a -c 'ping $varname' $PATH_REPORT/$varname.log"
Any help how can i execute the test.sh script which contains:
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${varname}\007"'
with the others in command i wrote?
You can simplify your solution so that you only need to specify the hostname once. The test.sh script can set the prompt directly with the echo command and then run the ping you want.
$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo -ne "\033]0;$1\007"
script -a -c "ping $1" $PATH_REPORT/$1.log
Now you can call this with
gnome-terminal -x ./test.sh $varname
(make sure PATH_REPORT is set in the script before hand,or exported from the current shell)
If you want more complicated executions then you can adjust the test.sh script as you need.
gnome-terminal \ --tab-with-profile=$var1 -e "./test.sh" $var1 \ --tab-with-profile=$var2 -e "./test.sh" $var2
-e you need to specify -e "$PWD/test.sh $var1". I assume you have the profiles all set up!

--tab; eg gnome-terminal --tab -e "$PWD/test.sh $var1" --tab -e "$PWD/test.sh $var2"

PROMPT_COMMANDis only evaluated when a prompt is displayed. Since this is a non-interactive session, just do theecho -ne ....directly.
