    Sure you can. And depending on what you're doing and how you want it to work you may not need "lxterminal".
   
    This is the auto start file for one of the Pi's at my desk (Pi3B). Since it's at my desk I use Synergy, so the Pi uses my Windows PC mouse/keyboard and I only need the HDMI and power plugged into the PI (really cuts down on cable mess and the need for another keyboard/mouse). Synergy runs in the background so I start the script directly, and I use the "@" so it will restart should it die for some reason.
   
    I also have a 24 segment LED bargraph display that shows CPU temp and load, and that runs in the background as well, using Python.
   
    Just to test I added a second line to run the test.sh script twice and each shows up in it's own terminal as expected.
    Code: Select all
   
    @lxpanel --profile LXDE-pi
    @pcmanfm --desktop --profile LXDE-pi Raspberry Pi Connect
    @xscreensaver -no-splash

    pause(){
     read -n1 -rsp $'Press any key to close the terminal...\n'
    }
   
    echo Script is running
