10.4: Hide Terminal's window during launch at login
Authored by: jiversen on Nov 08, '06 07:36:38PM
Great hint. One problem I'm finding with the solutions is that the original window present when terminal opens is actually closed, not hidden.

This simple script replicates the original true 'hide' behavior as far as I can tell, and actually hides the application, leaving the window intact. (Why do I care?--the first window opened by terminal is right where I want it. Later ones open somewhere else on screen.)

tell application "Terminal"
	launch
end tell

tell application "Finder"
	set visible of application process "Terminal" to false
end tell
