Option to automatically close terminal after running command from Alfred


Hattrick

Recommended Posts

I'm not sure... This is what I have as the command in the workflow and it works (set the active directory to Desktop and transcode a video file that I selected in Finder). Adding "exit" or ";exit" doesn't do anything, the Terminal (or iTerm2) window stays open.

 

It does exit, however, when I paste the three lines directly into Terminal.

cd /Users/stooovie/Desktop
other-transcode {query}
exit

 

Thanks!

Yeah. You need to send all the commands at once, not on three separate lines: cd /Users/stooovie/Desktop && other-transcode {query} && exit

 

It’s better to use && than ; because the tab won’t close if something goes wrong, and you’ll be able to see the error message.
