Try it with this command instead:

gnome-terminal -e "bash -c 'vnstat -ru -i wlan0 -h; exec bash'"

The exec bash part at the end causes to start a bash that replaces the current shell (also a bash).

What do you mean? This command "gnome-terminal" opens your terminal. – Julien Chau Oct 21 '14 at 09:03

Read the OP's question. He wants open a terminal and run his command altogether not just open terminal alone. – αғsнιη Oct 21 '14 at 09:05
