Running a terminal from within a bash script

[davidbow]

Greetings to all
In order to make a program position independant I wish to run the following script.

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/mate-terminal
cd /home/david/C-Programs/Word-Programs
./target64

It opens the terminal OK but fails to execute the commands following in the now opened terminal.
How do I achieve this ?
( running Mint Mate 17 64 bit)

Another quick question - when using the launcher (Right mouse button) if "run in terminal" is chosen, I get the error message
"Failed to execute child process "xterm" (No such file or directory)" - which file is missing ?
Thanks
David

To summarize, when you run a script file from the GUI, you want a terminal window to open and run the commands in the now-open terminal window, showing you any output and prompt you if more input is needed. You'll find this being discussed here. The TL;DR version is here.

HTH.
