How to run a bash script in terminal but hide the terminal on startup?

  • 772

I have a backup script on start up with cuttlefish. I set it on "Run in terminal" but I want to hide the terminal on start up. I also have the terminal in the start up applications. How do I hide the back up terminals (2) but keep my "main" terminal still visible?

Thanks.

    If you you select the script as executable and uncheck the "run in terminal", then cuttlefish will run the script without displaying it in a terminal

    Of course the script has to be executable (enter chmod u+x /path/to/your/script.sh in your terminal) and must provide a shebang (the first line in the script should be something like #!/bin/bash).
