I'm using Kubuntu 14.04. When I exiting terminal emulator (konsole or yakuake) by doing something like kill -9 $$ it doesn't close, and saying:
Warning: Program '/bin/bash' crashed.
How could I disable this behavior and force terminal emulator to silently close when shell is killed?
In the same system, when prompting kill -9 $$ in xterm, it exits without any crash reported.
I don't remember exactly, in which Linux distributions I saw such "silent" behavior from-the-box, but there are some.
Update: in the same system, when prompting kill -9 $$ inreason to do so is to exit terminal emulator without saving history to xterm.bash_history, it exits without any crash reported.
