So�� if I read that code correctly, when you pass both --save and --quit, the image will first save itself and quit (with an unspecified return code, or the one picked by the snapshot code). Then, next time you run this image, it will resume execution and exit immediately (that time with an explicit success return code).

Hi Dimitris,

According to

STCommandLineHandler>>#end
�� | quit�� |

�� quit := self commandLine hasOption: 'quit'.

�� (self commandLine hasOption: 'save')
�� ifTrue: [ Smalltalk snapshot: true andQuit: quit ].

�� quit
�� ifTrue: [ self exitSuccess ].

You should be able to combine --quit and --save to get the desired effect but I haven't tested it.

BTW, command line usage of Pharo works very well (and has been working well for years).
