ConEmu: How do I make a task automatically close after completing

Question

I have the following task set up in ConEMU

TASKKILL /IM iexplore.exe /F

After the task runs, it leaves a console window open with a confirmation dialog "Press Enter or Esc to close console window".

Is there a way to make my task automatically close it's tab after performing its operations.

I tried using -cur_console and -new_console but these don't seem to do what I need.

According to this documentation you can use the :n switch:

n - disable ‘Press Enter or Esc to close console’

For example, the following task opens a new tab, performs a git pull on master and then automatically closes again:

-new_console:n cd C:\my_git_repo & git fetch --all & git checkout master & git pull

Watch out as it closes the tab even on non-successful status codes.
