close select dialog box after choosing and continue running shell command

Using xfce4-panel in openbox, I managed to add a shell and changed the picture's background with nitrogen.
When I try to add a select dialog box
to choose between two methods, random and classic (the first one chooses pic randomly, while the second chooses pic by order)
everything works fine.
Just the terminal still keeps open, which looks weird. I would like that the terminal closes automatically without exiting the script.
I saw a lot of topics like: nohup and disown don't work, because after an exit command everything is killed and not going to background.
Code : nature.sh
#!/bin/bash
x=0
nu=$(ls ~/Images/Wallpapers/nature/*.jpg | wc -l)
cd /home/badr/Images/Wallpapers/nature
number=0
while [ $x -ne 1 ];
do
if [ $number -eq $nu ];then
number=0
fi
#number=$(( $((RANDOM)) % nu ))
number=$((number + 1))
nitrogen --set-scaled --save nature$number.jpg
sleep 10
done
Code: nature2.sh
#!/bin/bash
x=0
nu=$(ls ~/Images/Wallpapers/nature/*.jpg | wc -l)
cd /home/badr/Images/Wallpapers/nature
number=0
while [ $x -ne 1 ];
do
#if [ $number -eq $nu ];then
#number=0
#echo $number
#fi
number=$(( $((RANDOM)) % nu ))
number=$((number + 1))
nitrogen --set-scaled --save nature$number.jpg
sleep 10
done
Code : choose.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo "Veuillez choisir le mode de rotation des images?"
select yn in "Random" "Recurcive"; do
case $yn in
Random )nohup '/home/badr/Images/Wallpapers/nature/nature2.sh'&
bash /home/badr/Images/Wallpapers/nature/nature2.sh; break;;
Recurcive )nohup '/home/badr/Images/Wallpapers/nature/nature.sh'&
bash /home/badr/Images/Wallpapers/nature/nature.sh;exit;;
esac
done
