It's not sending a 'close command', just informing it that whatever ran it is finished. It takes that to mean it has nothing left to do, and quits.

I already tried putting "&" to background command but still no success.
Naturally, since it would believe it's done immediately...

A shell script that waits forever once gnome-terminal quits:
Code:
/bin/bash -c "gnome-terminal -x /home/<location_script>/startvm.bsh ; while true ; do sleep 1000 ; done"
