Question

What I’m trying to do is to make this script read a users input and them perform the command with the users input. I got echo working, but I can’t get the rest to work after.

gnome-terminal -t 'Change User Password' \
    -x bash -c "echo 'What user needs their password change?' ; bash" \
    -x bash -c "read pswu ; bash" \
    -x bash -c "passwd $pswu ; bash"

Another question: I would like to know how to right-click a file and run a script with the filename without path or extension.

Try something like this:

gnome-terminal -t 'Change User Password' -x bash -c "echo 'What user needs their
 password change?' ; read pswu ; passwd \$pswu "
