When i am starting a new server from the Terminal app, and i have the window not active, the Dock icon "jumps" up and down, also called "notifies me".
I don't want this behaviour, i want a quiet Terminal. I know when i am starting and stopping sth.
How can i do that?
I've already disabled the audio and visual bell, but still: Jumping.
System version: Mavericks.
As of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, Terminal has exactly this feature.
If you emit a bell (BEL, Control-G) in a background tab or window, the Terminal application Dock icon will show a badge with the number of “unread” bells
and a bell icon is displayed in the tab of the terminal
(If there is only one tab in the window, choose View > Show Tab Bar to see the tab, which also displays other status information.)
This also applies to minimized windows.
When you bring the window to the front or select the background tab, the bell indicator is removed from the tab and the badge count goes down.
Open Terminal.app, then run the following commands.
Change the default workspace preference:
defaults write com.apple.dock workspaces-auto-swoosh -bool NO
Next, restart the Dock with this command:
killall Dock

Whilst it's not ideal, if it's that bad you could disable the app bounce notification completely for all apps:
