How to open the terminal with specific command already run? Best at Unity Launcher!

Question

I know how to add a command to the Unity Launcher, but don't know how to have automatically opened terminal for the command.

Especially needed when sudo command needs password or command result should be seen.

You have two options to open a terminal or uxterm with already running a command:

uxterm -e <command>

Or

gnome-terminal -x <command>

For multiple commands to be already run:

gnome-terminal -x bash -c "<command1>; <command2>; <command3>"

gnome-terminal -e "command" works for me. How can I keep the terminal open after execution of command(s) without changing the profile? – Esamo Aug 04 '14 at 14:29
