# Option “-e” is deprecated and might be removed in a later version of gnome-terminal.# # Use “-- ” to terminate the options and put the command line to execute after it.# That error happens now. But if you replace -e with --, the new terminal that comes up gives an error. How to correctly use --?

@eric.frederich based on this answer to a question at stackoverflow, I believe the syntax should be gnome-terminal -- /bin/sh -c 'echo test; sleep 10'
