Script-Fu hanging after "Batch command successfully executed"

[JmurrayGa]

So this is a simplified command that is having the same issue 

It runs the gimp-console executable but it does not seem to actually run any of the code inside -b argument.

This line below simply attempts to close the gimp console window but it simply hangs at "batch command executed successfully"

Any help would be appreciated!

Update Below

Code:

My issue was the use of single quotes around my code in -b.

I changed them to double quotes and it worked but what do I use to text qualify my function parameters? I was using double quotes but that seems to terminate the script early.

You have to "escape" the double-quotes that are round strings by preceeding them with a back-slash

-b "(function \"a string\")" -b "(gimp-quit 0)"

That was it.
