the simplest method would be to wait for a keypress at the end of your script. For example:

#!/bin/bash
# gnome-terminal -e nordvpn status
nordvpn status
read -n1 -p "Press any key..."

  • This won't work. the gnome-terminal -e nordvpn status opens a new terminal which closes immidiately after the command nordvpn status, while the parent terminal stays open and waits to read x. One solution is to get rid of the gnome-terminal -e part. So that all the commands are executed in the same terminal.
