    Apart from the issue of quoting and the shell's interpretation of the strings that you pass into that argument for xterm, you also assign Running_In_New_Xterm in the (environment of xterm) the value of exec. Is that a typo? Commented Apr 21, 2018 at 19:23
  • I am executing xterm if the conditions aren't meant ( != t). I've tried it, and it works. It's just for some reason I'm having difficulty passing the $2 flags through another script, even when I put ' ' outside them i.e. '-a blah -o blah blah' Commented Apr 21, 2018 at 19:36

    Well, yes, I can see that. I was just curious about Running_In_New_Xterm=exec. Commented Apr 21, 2018 at 19:37
  • There is no typos that I can see Commented Apr 21, 2018 at 20:08
  • -e "cd $3 && $1 $2" does not work? What is the exact resulting command line you want executed (as you would type it into a shell)? Commented Apr 22, 2018 at 16:40
