Add a -e option to execute a comand inside the terminal

Bug Description

Would be really useful to have a -e option (as gnome-terminal does) which would open a command inside the terminal. This is not the same as -x.

This would be useful to, say, create a shortcut in the panel which would look like "terminator -f -e irssi" to launch irssi inside terminator (that's just a guess, in my case I have ssh into a server and then start it, but you see the point).

Agreed, this would be most useful, and is expected of terminals

I think there's a bug in relation to the way the arguments are passed -
e.g. if I run "terminator -e vim" it starts up and wants to edit files
'i' and 'm'.
