In Ubuntu Linux what is the Terminal command to close a window?

Q. I have an application that opens at launch to allow me to use my Gamepad to control the mouse and arrow keys. This application also opens a window so I would like a terminal command that I can program to close the window at startup. Thank you.

A. Your question is worded a bit oddly but I think you're looking for System > Preferences > Startup Applications

=) hope that helps!

Using a virtual connection to Linux terminal, how can I open the Linux text editor?
Q. I'm virtually connected to a linux terminal. In the terminal window I type the following commands
tcsh
cd vlsi1/Lab3
ls
pico TxFIFOtest
(these commands open an editor inside the terminal, the editor is terrible though and I will be making numerous changes to this. Is there a way to open this with a text editor?)

A. u are using tc shell?

any shell have ENV values, editor are en ENV key for linux editor, in debian/venenux the editor by default are nano or mcedit-debian, the first acts as normal ecitor like MSDOS, the second atc as special editor using IBM's F1 to F12 keys

install vim (not vi) and cam note diference, also can install nano, nano its more for ignorant command line real linux users

if u wish use graphical editor only use sux (venenux and sidux only) or install sux (apt-get install sux) and ejecute graphical editor as: "sux kwrite" or "sux leafpad" when runs, sux ask for root admin password (or for user password if u are in sudoers file)

i recomend install linux venenux+massenkoh plugs due u seems to be a non linux user, ubuntu are not good choice for system training
