Close / kill / hide single Terminal window in bash on 'process complete'

Question

I have to set up a bash script which will be in the autorun for all our users.

I can not set the terminal settings to close on "process complete". I can not 'KillAll' the terminals.

Does someone know an approach? I think the PID-solution (not parent pid) would be a nice way.

OS used is MacOS Sierra.

test.sh

#!bin/bash
currentUser=$(whoami)
mkdir -p ~/Desktop/Pdrive
mount_smbfs //server/UserData/$currentUser ~/Desktop/Pdrive


#pid=$$
#kill $pid
#exit 0
#kill -15 $$
#disown
#kill -9 $(ps -p $(ps -p $PPID -o ppid=) -o ppid=)
#osascript -e 'tell application "Terminal.app" to quit'
#pkill -f test.sh
exit

Answer 1

Try this:

If you wish to be asked before leaving:

osascript -e 'tell application "Terminal" to close first window' 

Leave without asking:

osascript -e 'tell application "Terminal" to close first window' & exit

Please do not use killall because killall does different things on different Unix versions.

Answer 2

You could run your script in the current shell using source (also known as .):

. ./test.sh

This way, when you script calls exit, your shell will exit too. This should cause your terminal emulator to close as well.

This does not, however, work with Terminal from macOS with its default settings, but you could go to Preferences → Profiles → Shell → "When the shell exits" and choose "Close the window" or "Close if the shell exited cleanly".
