Overview
This manual page documents briefly the lxterminal command.
lxterminal is a program that provides a terminal emulator for the desktop, usually for LXDE.
Options
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below.
-e STRING --command=STRING --command STRING
This option specifies the program (and its command line arguments) to be run in the terminal. Except in the --command= form, this must be the last option on the command line.
-
--geometry=CHARACTERSxLINES -
Set the terminal's size in characters and lines.
-
-l --loginshell -
Executes login shell.
-
--no-remote -
Spawns an lxterminal window in a process that is separate from all other lxterminal windows. It ensures that environment variables are inherited from the launching process (such as the user's shell process).
-t NAME[,NAME[,NAME[...]]] --title=NAME[,NAME[,NAME[...]]] --tabs=NAME[,NAME[,NAME[...]]]
Set the terminal's title. Use comma for multiple tabs.
-
--working-directory=DIRECTORY -
Set the terminal's working directory.
-
--profile=NAME -
If set, then all instances of lxterminal invoked in the same way will share a config file named lxterminal-NAME.conf.
Files
The configuration file lxterminal.conf (or lxterminal-NAME.conf) can be found in ~/.config/lxterminal/.
