[Solved] Run archey(program) on xfce4-terminal when opened.

Hi, i'm running xfce4 v4.10 on arch Linux and im trying to get archey to run when i open xfce4-terminal and then continue letting me enter commands. I have tried..

xfce4-terminal -e 'archey'

But it just runs the program and closes like expected.

xfce4-terminal -e 'archey & bash'

This works in xterm but in xfce4-terminal it just opens a blank terminal.

xfce4-terminal -e 'archey; bash;'

This also works with xterm but in xfce4-terminal it throws me the error

Failed to execute child process "archey;" (No such file or directory)'

I tried a few other random combinations including adding the file paths but nothing has worked so far and do not know what else to try. I looked over the -help and searched the forum and Google didn't find anything useful.  Any ideas?

Just add:

archey

...to the end of ~/.bashrc.
