Description

Testing #4502

Right now the terminal is always shown where the command is run, and the user is prompted to press any key to close the terminal after the command finishes. This mandates manual user interaction for thing they usually would not care about.

I think it would be a better experience to automatically close the terminal when the run completes if the command was not interrupted and exited with a 0.
