I am running a bash script in a Konsole window, which opens a kitty console in a new window, and I want to run a command already in this new kitten window,

how can I do that?

#!/bin/bash

kitty <some command which i wanna run in kitty>

  • The version of KDE would be helpful. Nonetheless, presuming it's not TDE (KDE3) which would use `dcop`, KDE4/Plasma can use `dbus`. Essentially you will use the inner-process communication language to launch konsole and then issue the command to run in that new session. In the old days that would be similar to `dcop KID SID sendSession yourcommand` where `KID` is the konsole ID and `SID` is the session ID. I don;t have a dbus example for you. – David C.

  • thanx for answer, qdbus works. – Sanart0 Feb 14 '23 at 09:05
  • You are welcome. Good luck with your konsole scripting. You can do a whole lot with `qdbus`. (and the older `dcop`) I have a script that runs that launches konsole and opens 9 konsole tabs and reestablishes `ssh` connections with 5 remote hosts, renaming the tabs with the remote hostnames and renaming and numbering the local tabs with the hostname plus `-1`, `2`, .... Originally just written as a time-saving effort, it exposed what all can be done in KDE with the inter-process communications (and that's a lot!) – David C. Rankin Feb 15 '23 at 03:32
