Hi,
a combination of the following tools is helpful when writing
shell scripts that interact with GUI apps:
$ apropos xdotool
xdotool (1) - command-line X11 automation tool
$ man wmctrl | grep "\-c <WIN>" -A1
-c <WIN>
Close the window <WIN> gracefully.
I don't know if those tools are still helpful when using Wayland, but
for a X11 based environment those are the tools I'm using. I don't use
the commands to close windows, but the man page claims, closing
windows can be done, too.
Regards,
Ralf
