How to tell when Terminal will prompt before closing window
Authored by: Auricchio on May 06, '03 11:10:51AM

I never noticed that.

From what I can tell, the dot appears any time you are running
a shell process for which the shell is waiting (i.e. a foreground
job).

Try things like "sleep 10" and you'll see.

If there's a process running other than the shell, Terminal will
warn you, as you've observed.
