Closing a Specific Terminal
I have a program that opens a new terminal and runs while loop, but when the program ends I want to terminate this window. Is it possible to close a certain terminal window with a command, while keeping all other terminals open?

The easy way: Create a variable that the while loop tests for true (or false, whatever way you like) and change this var to end the loop.
The complicated way:
Get the Pid of you Shell:
$ echo $$
returns e.g.
1441
The Shell (e.g. bash) runs in the Terminal, so the Terminal is identified by bashs parent PID. Get ppid:
$ cat /proc/1441/status | grep PPid
returns e.g.
1432
If you can Pid it, you can kill it. ;)
$ kill 1432
EDIT: There might be easier ways to get the Pid of the program process, e.g. if the program has a specific name, you can
$ ps aux | grep nameofmyspecificprogram
for it.
