how to make it to start up like this 'john@john:~/Desktop$ blah blah blah

Question

When I start the Terminal I want it to start up like this john@john:~/Desktop$ blah blah blah without executing the command so I tried to do this sh -c "cd ~/Desktop;blah blah blah; exec bash" but it executed the command.

how did you do it? post an answer yourself! – mnagel Jul 06 '13 at 08:47 — mnagel, Jul 06 '13 at 08:47

Okay i have found a way to do this, first you go to

Edit>Profile preferences>Title and Command

and in the 'Run a custom command instead of my shell' put this

sh -c "cd ~/Desktop; exec bash"

now open gpedit and type this script in:

#!/usr/bin/expect -f

spawn -noecho bash

expect "$ " 

send "put what ever you want here"

interact

exit

save that as a anything.sh

then chmod +x anything.sh

and run the anything.sh with Terminal and you're all done! :D
