According to the Terminator man page, I can use the --command flag when running the terminator command to run a command when the terminal window opens. However, I can't seem to get it working. I've tried the following:

terminator --command="ls"
terminator --command ls
terminator --command "ls"

The first step is to get this working. Secondly, the man page also points out that it will run the command "instead of your default shell or profile specified command." Does that mean aliases from my .bashrc file won't be loaded in? If so, how can I have them load in?

The full command I'm going for is something like this:

terminator --command ssh-apixel --geometry 900x575+110+55 --new-tab

where ssh-apixel is an alias defined in my .bashrc file.

  • Before asking this question, did you test it works with another command, e.g. "top" – vanadium Jun 21 '19 at 7:46
  • @vanadium Yes, I've tried it with multiple commands – APixel Visuals Jun 21 '19 at 7:48

Here's what worked for me in the end:

terminator -e "bash --rcfile <(echo '. /home/apixel/.bashrc; ssh user@xxx.xxx.xxx.xx')" --geometry 900x575+110+55 --new-tab
