From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

My first thought would be to use xdotool. Does that work for you?
This, or
wmctrl
that has some overlap. OR if this is Wayland (and not Xorg), whatever alternatives for those the window manager provides.Anyone know what those are?
Yeah agreed. All the people in here talking about signals... you're not, like, wrong, but you missed the nature of the question i.e. "hey it seems like this GUI application doesn't deal well with Unix signals, so what else can I do"
