Running slicersalt via commandline seems very useful, but seems not-loop friendly.  
Is it possible to stop slicersalt, after  
./slicersalt --no-main-window --python-script SOME COMMAND?  
after successful run, the cmd stops with ‘all pipeline took ~~~’.

Because this, it’s not loop-able for bash script. Is it possible to kill slicersalt and make commandline script loopable?

You can add `exit()` as the last command or you can use the `--testing` command-line argument (which exits the application when all the commands are executed).
