OSX bash minimize window

Question

In the Mac and using the bash shell, I want to execute a file that contains a single command (to start Jupyter Lab) and immediately minimize the terminal window.

Is there a way to do this WITHOUT installing third party software?

Answer 1

Building on Paul R's answer, which in my testing appears to make the window fully hidden and unrecoverable, you can use the following to minimise the window to the dock if access is required again later:

 osascript -e 'tell application "Terminal" to set miniaturized of every window to true'

Answer 2

Yes, just use osascript and Applescript:

osascript -e 'tell application "Terminal" to set visible of front window to false'
