How to start gnome-terminal from the command line and duplicate environment variables?

Is there a way to start the gnome terminal from the command line (i.e. using the / usr / bin / gnome -terminal command) and so that the new terminal inherits environment variables and other specified terminal variables from which the command was launched? So the script:

  • Open terminal
  • Set some variables
  • Set some environment variables
  • Run an executable file that needs the environment variables and variables of the current terminal in the new terminal

Thoughts?

This turned out to be a gnome terminal problem. When starting the gnome terminal, specifying the --disable-factory option provides the following directive:

"Do not register with the activation name server and do not use the re-launched GNOME terminal process" (gnome-terminal manual page)

Specifying this option was required to inherit the environment of the previous shell.

You need to use export for variables in another shell if you want child processes to inherit them.
