Finally, I found my "error" or maybe I should say another way. It wasn't the PPID I had to kill ... but the PPPID x) and I can kill it without any trouble contrary to PPID.
Here is my script : "launch-and-kill-terminal-window"
Code:
#!/bin/bash
($@&)
#kill $PPID #--> KO cause this is the bash pid and not the "xterm" pid
pppid=`ps -p $PPID -o ppid=`
kill $pppid
then you can launch any program from your terminal wihtout having to close your terminal window manually
for example:
Code:
$ ./launch-and-kill-terminal-window xclock
et voilą
just my xclock window... no more xterm window
NB this works well in xterm ... in a gnome-terminal, it closes ALL your gnome-terminal windows, cause gnome-terminal works differently from xterm (again an example why you should use standards :P)
@ctsgnb
I think the line
Code:
#!/bin/bash
is important in a script as not evrybody use bash by default. And depending on the interpreter some things change. for example if I remeber tcsh uses variables differently from bash
I've tried with exec but I didn't manage to make it work as I wanted
@ygemici thank you very much for your script. very nice tricks I'll add to my script
