Close "<app> quit unexpectedly" window from terminal/bash

Is there a way to close/kill " < app> quit unexpectedly" window from terminal or bash script? What's the process name?

(AppleScript automation solutions are not acceptible.)

Solution

  • You can:

    killall UserNotificationCenter

    It will kill the UserNotificationCenter (an ALL it's opened windows too), so the message disappears. (Don't worry, the next error message will start is again automatically.)

    But, (IMHO) it is better to use the osascript command in a form:

    osascript -l JavaScript <<EOS
... apple-scripting using JavaScript ...
EOS

    IMHO JavaScript is much easier to understand (for an common programmer) as the "standard" applescript.
