Ehmm.. well when using -batch there is no output in the terminal, or
any other indication that the script is being run. Also, the delay in
closing is still there. Actually, when just running (so not script
specified):
./ImageJ-linux64 --headless -batch
The same delay is present in returning the command.

Yes, fiji does show this extra option. However ImageJ2 does not. And
while I (now!) understand the technical reasons why the -macro option
is not mentioned it makes for a very confusing user experience. Right
now, for someone new to IJ it's very difficult to understand the
relation between IJ1 and IJ2. The help of the commands not being
complete adds to that.
