Command Construction for aterm

[^thehatsrule^]

Probably would need something else for the quotes, i.e.

aterm -e sh -c "cat file && echo -e '\n\n' && exec sh"

or like the earlier post with

aterm -e sh -c "cat file;echo;echo; exec sh"

aterm -e sh -c "cat file && echo -e "\n\n" && exec sh"

Thanks for the suggestion.  Using double quotes around the newline characters produced nn.  Replacing the double quotes with single quotes gave the desired result.

Code: [Select]

aterm -e sh -c "cat file && echo -e '\n\n' && exec sh"Works as wanted.

This works as wanted and have adopted it as I find it easier to read.
