How can I auto-close an urxvt terminal after executing an expect script?

I've written a script to handle quick copying of passwords to the clipboard:



#!/usr/bin/expect -f



spawn -noecho zsh

expect "$ "

send "pass show -c "

interact

exit


This script is launched like this:



urxvt -e /home/user/pass_script.sh


The script runs well, but after finishing, the spawned urxvt terminal needs to close. It doesn't do so as of now. How can I make sure it does?

    does it auto close for other commands like urxvt -e sleep 5? if yes, try urxvt -e expect -d /home/user/pass_script.sh and see what's the problem.

  • That code is fine. The problem, I'm guessing, is what the pass command does after you hit enter. Does it ever end?

  • @pynexj: yes, it does close after running urxvt -e sleep 5. running with debug flag doesn't show me what goes wrong; the script will just copy my password to clipboard and return with a new prompt (instead of exiting). @glenn jackman: well, I have to add my desired password ID after the already entered "pass show -c ". After entering my ID, zsh will return with a prompt instead of exiting.

Ellipse (mathématiques)

Pour les articles homonymes, voir Ellipse. L'ellipse est le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante. Section du cône ou projection du cercle. En géométrie, une ellipse est une courbe plane fermée obtenue par l’intersection d’un cône de révolution avec un plan, à condition que celui-ci coupe l'axe de rotation du cône ou du cylindre : c'est une conique d'excentricité strictement comprise entre 0 et 1. On peut également la définir comme le lieu des points dont la somme des distances à deux points fixes, dits foyers, est constante (sa construction par la méthode du jardinier est très simple). Dans la vie courante, l’ellipse est la forme qu'on perçoit en regardant un cercle en perspective, ou la figure formée par l’ombre d'un disque sur une surface plane. On retrouve aussi, en première approximation [ 1 ] , des ellipses dans les trajectoires des corps célestes (planètes, comètes ou satellites arti...

Quarter-circle Tiles

up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2 ...
