Automatically quitting the currently running Automator Script...?

Hi All,

I'm having a tiny issue with Automator. It seems as though it should be more obvious than it is, but I can't figure it out. Basically, I have an automator script that runs a few shell commands then opens an X11 app. It works great, however, the automator script remains "open" even after it has served its purpose. I need a way to basically have the Automator script quit itself after it has executed all the shell scripts. I don't need it to wait for any kind of feedback -- I simply need it to quit after running the last shell script.

FYI, I have the script saved as an application. The section under "Quit Application" doesn't have anything pertaining to the currently running script. Also, I tried creating a version so that I could then re-reference it in the script itself, then replace the old script with the current script.

Needless to say, nothing has worked. I just want the Automator script to go away.

My apologies, but has anyone got any input on this particular issue? I simply want the Automator Script to automatically quit once it has launched the app, however I see now way to do so. There appears to be no obvious "Quit" command in the workflow options.
