How to auto-close terminal after script finishes?

[mishka00]

Hello!

I've got a script that I run to unmount all devices as follows:

#!/bin/sh
osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to eject (disks where free space * 0)'

When I double-click it, it launches in a terminal window and displays the following:

MacbookPro:~ Mishka00$ /Users/Mishka00/Scripts/unmount_all ; exit;
logout

[Process completed]

The devices get unmounted ok, that's fine, but the terminal window remains open. I'd like it to automatically close (and the terminal to exit as well, for that matter).

Please help. Thanks.

Think that's a Terminal preference thing. I guess you could do a ps and search for Terminal's PID and kill it, however, if a user has more than one Terminal, you'd have to search for the parent PID in your script, then kill it later on. If this is just for you, then it's not that important: just change Terminal's pref's to auto-close.

What about ending the script with "killall Terminal"?

"killall Terminal" will do the trick

You just need to be careful because that will close all Terminal windows and it won't close them cleanly either.

The way I like it... shutting down Windows dirty...

I tried that but got a message
"No matching processes belonging to you were found"
which is probably related to the user permissions or some such. As I'm just a recent convert from Windoze, I didn't research this much, but I did find an alternative way to kill the terminal from the script which works flawlessly:

osascript -e 'tell application "Terminal" to quit'

Thanks for the help, anyway.
