kitty command never returns on macOS

[mil-ad]

I'm trying to spawn a new kitty instance and run something from an existing kitty terminal. e.g:

kitty -- sh --noprofile --norc -c 'sleep 5'

I can see the new terminal window, it runs the command and the window disappears, however the kitty command hangs and never returns. This doesn't happen on Linux but happens on macOS.

Nice!

I saw a reference to open on the man page and that seems to work too:

open -a kitty.app -n --args sh --noprofile --norc -c 'sleep 5'
