Maybe the result of some settings in my terminal preferences. In any case the program would always launch the terminal app which remains open even if I could figure out how to close each window.

If you _really_ want some of it in Ada
* create a bash script that runs then program.
* after the program is finished, use Applescript to close the terminal

something like 'tell Terminal to close'

but yes, it is a bit different...

There is a terminal setting to close the window if the program exited
without errors. But as you say the Terminal app would still run.
Unless told to close by applescript of course
