[QUOTE="icefall5, post: 1057144, member: 156989"] Sorry, this is probably a really simple answer, but I was not able to find anything about this anywhere. I am trying to run Terminal. However, I previously created a script that ends in >killall Terminal Now when I try to run Terminal it runs this script (even though I open the application itself, not the script I created), which forces it to then close itself. I can't do anything else in Terminal now. How can I fix this? My next question involves why I have >killall Terminal in my script to begin with. The only thing I could find online dealing with closing Terminal automatically is the exit command, which exits the shell. The option in Window settings, however, does not work to close the window when the shell exits (as soon as I close a Terminal window the option reverts to "Never" [close Terminal window when]). The killall command was the only thing I could think of to close Terminal, but apparently it wasn't a good idea. My ultimate goal is to have a file on my desktop that I can open which opens Terminal, runs the commands, then closes Terminal. I am running OS X 10.4.11. Thank you for helping a newbie! [/QUOTE]
