Becausae a Close gadget is a Close gadget, not a Quit gadget. The
standard behaviour of commodites its to hide when you press the close
gadget, you are closing the window, not quitting the program.

That's how commodities are supposed to work. Most of the time they wait
in the background watching for the defined triggers to occur.

Yes, quit it instead of hiding it.

Try CyberGrab instead, it's more suited to CLI use. I call it from a
DOpus hotkey. If you want to use SGRAB, rx "SGRAB QUIT" is the standard
way of quitting a commodity through ARexx.
