Close Terminal window from within shell script (Unix)?

Question

Is there a way to close a Terminal window from within a shell script? I have a .command file that should just get out of the way once it\'s done.

Answer 1

This works for me:

#!/bin/sh

{your script here}

osascript -e 'tell application "Terminal" to close (every window whose name contains ".command")' &
exit

This will work for closing just your windows opened with a .command file but leave things already running in other terminal windows. I know that I almost always have either sass or grunt watch something so I don't want to quit terminal totally.
