Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Close the Run window after script is done Post 302902149 by Mike Newbie on Monday 19th of May 2014 03:21:38 AM

Hi all,
thanks.

The story is, that I like to have my_script running in a terminal larger then the default window size settings ( default is 80x24 ) and I don't want to change the defaults.

Thats why a created a little start script, which looks like this :

Code:
#! /bin/ksh
dtterm -geometry 120x45 -title "my script" -e ksh -c "/path_to_my/script/my_script"
exit

This start script opens a new terminal window and my_script is running in that terminal ... works fine.
I put also exit on the end of my_script.
But if I start the start script on the right top corner a small icon pops up called "Run" , and this icon stays open and does not close, if my_script is finished.
But I like to have the Run icon closed also at the end of my script.
Any idea ? .... thanks in advance.

xtitle

XTITLE(1)						      General Commands Manual							 XTITLE(1)

NAME

       xtitle - set window title and icon name for an X11 terminal window

SYNOPSIS

       xtitle [ -tiq ] [ -- ] string ...  | [ -V ] [ -h ]

DESCRIPTION

       Xtitle  will set the window title and/or the icon name of the terminal window in which it is run to be its command line arguments.  It does
       this by outputting the appropriate xterm(1) control sequence characters.  Unless suppressed, xtitle will also report the  settings  it  has
       made.

OPTIONS

       --	 Interprets all following arguments as strings instead of options.

       -h, --help
		 Prints a helpful usage message.

       -i, --icon
		 Only set the icon name.  Default sets both.

       -t, --title
		 Only set the window title.  Default sets both.

       -v, --verbose
		 Quiet mode.  Doesn't report the settings performed.

       -V, --version
		 Only prints the program version.

CAVEATS

       Xtitle  is  known  to  work  with  xterm(1)  and  dtterm(1).  The effect of the control sequences in other terminals is not known, though I
       wouldn't expect any problems.
