  <p>You can set the terminal to exit, restart or remain open when the shell or
  a custom command exits:</p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>Select
      <guiseq><gui style="menu">Edit</gui><gui style="menuitem">Profile
      Preferences</gui><gui style="tab">Command</gui></guiseq>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>From the <gui>When command exits</gui> drop down list, select one of
      the following options:</p>
      <list>
        <item>
          <p><gui>Exit the terminal</gui></p>
        </item>
        <item>
          <p><gui>Restart the command</gui></p>
        </item>
        <item>
          <p><gui>Hold the terminal open</gui></p>
        </item>
      </list>
      <p>The setting will be saved automatically when you select it.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <note style="important">
    <p>If you have <link xref="pref-custom-command">set a custom command</link>
    that is non-interactive, have set the exit behavior to <gui>Exit the
    terminal</gui>, and have set the profile to be the default profile,
    <app>Terminal</app> may exit before you can see the output of the
    command.</p>
