In a lxconsole, as I'm under lxde, I type the following command: xterm -e "sleep 5 ; ls ; sleep 5" It opens a new terminal, wait 5 seconds, displays a listing, wait 5 seconds and close the terminal, exactly as I want. But if I try lxterminal -e "sleep 5 ; ls ; sleep 5" _nothing_ is happening after the opening of the terminal. Is lxterminal -e "ls -R" also working ?

Just tested lxterminal-0.3.1-3.git20180225.1.mga6 from core/updates_testing. It works fine, executing the commands passed as parameters. _Many thanks_ for both the update and this great reactivity !!!
Mageia 6, x86_64 Before: The xterm command worked fine. $ lxterminal -e "sleep 5 ; ls ; sleep 5" Hung forever. So did: lxterminal -e "ls -R" Afterwards: $ lxterminal -e "sleep 5 ; ls ; sleep 5" Waits five seconds after displaying the terminal window, prints a full list of the current directory for five seconds then disappears. $ lxterminal -e "ls -R" Displays a recursive listing of the current directory and vanishes. $ lxterminal -e "cd Videos; vlc Merveillesnordiques.mp4" This also worked fine, playing the video until interrupted. This is fixed for sure.
