Answer 1

To open a terminal Exec=nameOfYourTerminalApp (eg:gnome-terminal, lxterminal, xterm) Then you can run your commands in the opened terminal. Otherwise, you can create a script with some command and run it. In that case you have to put tail -n 10 -f /var/log/httpd/error_log in the script and make it executable. Then call it with a shortcut file.
