Terminal keeps opening

Why does my terminal keep showing up when I am not even sure what it is? I close it, and next day it's there again.

Terminal Input My terminal misbehaves. Sometimes when I try to delete a character in command line, some other character gets deleted. When I write a character in terminal sometimes it overwrites other characters(which is just beside) and the command I see is not what it runs (some small characters differ which I have changed recently). Anyway to reinstall the terminal??

terminal stuck My Terminal has become unusable for the last couple of weeks, a web developer that I work with suggested that I switch to using iTerm2 as a replacement to using the regular apple terminal. Since then I've moved from web to mobile and I am using xCode, however when the terminal opens up to run the app (or indeed just opening the terminal) the title of the window starts flicking through different titles, before eventually displaying over and ove: -bash: /usr/bin/uname: Argument list too long -bash: /bin/ps: Argument list too long Using ctrl+c to cancel whatever process is that it seems to be running still leaves me unable to enter any commands. I've, tried deleting the preferences for the Terminal, but it didn't make a difference :( Hopefully the attached screenshots will help out (I can't attach a video of course) Please Help...
