[bash] run a shell who runs commands

Hi all. On X11 I'm on a shell ...shell_1 (/bin/bash). From here I want to open another shell window shell_2 who executes commands like "ls -l" or programs like ". /program"... so the "result" of commands shows in shell_2 window and not in shell_1. Is that possible ?

xterm &

will open another window and leave the first one useable.

Hi cero ! Yes, but this only opens another shell... I search a trick to run new shell and run inside that all wanted command automatically in one code line.

Invoke xterm with -e option and your command as argument like:

xterm -e "ls ; read dummy" &

Thank you so much cero ! xterm solved my problem... gnome-terminal and lxterminal doesn't work as xterm whit params like I want.
