MacOS – Terminal Keeps Opening

macbook promacosmemoryterminal

I am a musician running ProTools and Maschine on my MacBook Air. I recently used Terminal.app to delete some standard Apple apps and clear disk space.

The space was cleared but now Terminal keeps opening and interrupting me. I enter the logout command and it logs out successfully but keeps coming back. I have run Etrecheck and there was nothing insidious on the system.

Is anyone aware of how to address this issue?

Please note that I have not (and cannot!) update OS X because I've heard that it has operating problems with ProTools 12.

System specs:
MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012)
1.8 GHz Intel Core i5
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Macintosh HD
Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB
OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.5

I've been having this exact problem all day and think I just found the solution too it.

I too thought that the problem was being caused by Terminal but I think it's just Application Manager acting up. For whatever reason Application Manager kept opening along with Terminal, only with no indication that it was open. Try quitting Application Manager and see if that works.

I know most of the people have this same issue also have Pro Tools so it could just be something stupid Application Manager is doing. Hope it works for you or get you on the phone with ProTools support to help fix the cofiguration or bug in that app/suite that is opening the terminal app.
