Scripting in AppleScript
What I want my script to do is to run a command in Terminal and close that same Terminal window when the process is complete.
Quote:
activate application "Terminal"
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "command"
tell application "System Events" to keystroke return
tell application "Terminal"
quit
end tell
Of course I could ad a delay of 6 seconds to complete the process, but it may not be enough every time.
To simplify my question, this is what I want to achieve.
1. Quit Terminal
after process completes.
2. Quit "that" Terminal window, not
all active Terminal windows.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
