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 likeurxvt -e sleep 5? if yes, tryurxvt -e expect -d /home/user/pass_script.shand see what's the problem.

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

@pynexj: yes, it does close after runningurxvt -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.
