Prints "[process exited with code 9009]" instead of closing the Windows Terminal when I type "exit".

[Kerem00]

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19042.610]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.3.2651.0

Steps to reproduce

When you type something that is not recognized as a command and after that you type exit, it prints "[process exited with code 9009]" and doesn't close the Windows Terminal window.

Expected behavior

If you type normal commands like cd or cls and after that you type exit, it closes the Windows Terminal window as expected.

Actual behavior

exit command isn't closing the window.

This behavior exists to stop an error message printed out by a program from disappearing instantly when it exits. There is a class of applications for which that is extremely important. We're following this behavior because it is the right brhavior to follow, and because you can turn it off with a config option very easily.

Alas, this is a behavior that's highly conserved across multiple shells and terminal emulators on most mainstream operating systems; more info in #4223 (comment). If you'd rather it just exit every time, set closeOnExit to true. 😄 /dup #4223.
