Console program does not end after terminal is closed!

Console program does not end after terminal is closed!
Is this normal (PB 6.20) ?

Code:

Code: Select all

EnableExplicit

Procedure.i main()
  If OpenConsole("")
    Input()
    CloseConsole()
  EndIf
EndProcedure

End main()

What does not end.
The programme and the terminal window end here

When i close the terminal the program stays open which is annoying (mlterm / cant set a different one).

Have you set the executable to console in compiler options?

Have you set the executable to console in compiler options?

Yes, otherwise i would not get a terminal and PrintN() would not work.

It also depends on how the PB program was launched.
If it was launched from an already open shell and you want to close it too, send the shell command un*x “ exit ” (or Ctrl+D).

To be clear:

You start the executable in a terminal,
you close the terminal
and in an other terminal you can see with ps ax that the program is still running?

Probably what Mijikai means is, if instead of pressing enter at the Input() you click X/close window button of the terminal window. The terminal window closes but in the IDE the program is still running and has to be killed.

@#NULL is right, sorry i should have mentioned that i run it from the IDE.
