Closing when last command failed

[iainvm]

It seems when trying to detach from WSLTTY when the last command that was run had a non-zero exit code causes the window not to close and instead show the red bar at the top of the window telling the user the exit code.

Steps:

• Run a non-existant command.
• Try to CTRL+D to detach from the tty.

[Terminating the shell isn't "detaching"]

Remove "-h err" from the command line in the Windows shortcut.

I have seen the red bars randomly too but never associated it with non-existant commands, presumably -h err picks up all sorts of things?

The text in the red bar for this error reads /bin/wslbridge: Exit 127. but I remember seeing other numbers there.

It's the exit status of the client program, usually the shell. Shells typically propagate the exit status of the last process they called.
This is actually a remainder of a testing phase, and I think I'll remove it. Users can configure the Hold mode in their config file if they like.
