Bash question

Is there a way to stop the terminal window closing after it has run my script?
Thanks, Mike

Could you describe your situation in more detail? Normally issuing a command in a terminal doesn't close the terminal...

Sorry. I have an executable script that I double click to run. When it finishes, the terminal that it was running in closes. I'd like for it to hang around so that I can see if there were any errors, messages etc. The script is just a few lines of simple commands to rename and copy some files.
Thanks.

Maybe it'd be easier to pipe any potential error output into a Zenity info dialog?

[Jussi Kukkonen]

Maybe add

read -p "Press any key..."
as the last line of the script?

[yaaarrrgg]

couldn't you add this the end of the script?



sleep 10;
echo "exiting"

Open terminal drag the binary into terminal press enter.

Thanks Jussi Kukkonen, that seems like a good solution. Thanks to the others too.
