terminal command snow leopard

hi, i'm using snow leopard. and i was just wondering what command open's up a new terminal window

typing bash or sh would only create a bash or sh session within the same terminal window

Yes i know i can just press command+n or go to the menu and shell->new window. but i'm looking for a typed-out command to do this.

Example would be in ubuntu, you would type gnome-terminal in any terminal, and a new terminal window would pop up.

Thanks.'

 

not really sure why you'd want to.. there are various ways. Opening just a single window or tab is tougher... if you want to open a whole new session of Terminal.app, you can type

open -n /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app

why do you need to do this though...? there may be a better way to accomplish what your wanting...

you could always use Applescript through osascript too something like this just to open a new window in the current session

osascript -e "Tell Application \"Terminal\" to do script\"\""

 

thanks, worked perfectly!
