How automatically/immediately run command in ansi-term *with* *arguments* ?

How automatically/immediately run command in ansi-term *with* *arguments* ?

[Chris Seberino]

I'm trying to set some shortcuts for shell commands.  I want to use ansi-term as it has colors and other niceties not found in shell if I use shell-command....

This works...

(ansi-term 'some_command_here')

This does *NOT*...

(ansi-term 'some_command_here arg1 arg2')

How get arguments to work?  This would be quite a nice replacement for 
shell-command if it could for people that like/need ansi-term.

The argument to ansi-term is a program, not a command. There doesn't 
seem to be a way to provide arguments to the program. Write a script 
that does what you want, and put that as the program argument.

Kind of a long shot, & I'm not set up to test it,
But maybe you could put program arg1 arg2... in back-ticks? `program arg1 arg2` to force the grouping into a single 'program'?

Backticks are processed by the shell. If it were using the shell, you 
would be able to do just "program arg1 arg2".

Try this, a hack, but seems to work here, no guarantee though:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun my-shell-command (cmd)
  (interactive (list (read-shell-command "Command: ")))
  (setq cmd (split-string cmd " "))
  (require 'term)
  (let* ((buffer (apply #'term-ansi-make-term
                        "*Shell Command*"
                        (car cmd)
                        nil
                        (cdr cmd)))
         (proc (get-buffer-process buffer)))
    (set-process-sentinel
     proc
     (lambda (proc msg)
       (let ((buffer (process-buffer proc)))
         (when (memq (process-status proc) '(signal exit))
           (with-current-buffer buffer
             (delete-process proc)
             (goto-char (point-min)))))))
    (switch-to-buffer buffer)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
