On ubuntu when I run sublime text from the terminal it will open two instances

I was trying to get sublime to work from the terminal. I was having issues setting up the symlink for some reason so I tried a couple different things to get it to work, finally when I got it to work and I ran the first command of subl <myFile> it opened it. However it opened two instances of it. also, in the terminal it seems like it is still running something. Continues to say:

(sublime_text:5910): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 5148 was not found when attempting to remove it

and continues to print the above line fairly regularly, if I exit out of both instances of sublime it will stop running the process.

Something to note as well. I am able to open up sublime with no issues if I find it via the launcher search. When I type in which sublime it gives me /usr/bin/sublilme Which I think if where it should be.

And lastly, I'm quite new to ubuntu, my new job uses it so now I need to get to know it, as well as new to programming in general.

P.S. I was trying to post this in the ask ubuntu section but it refused to post the question as it said I could only post something every 20 minutes. (This is my first question ever asked on that section...)

This is actually a famous bug in Sublime 2 as it remember your last session and always opens it.

You need to edit Packages/User/Global.sublime-settings you need to make sure the below preferences are there (remember_open_files)

{
  "hot_exit": false,
  "remember_open_files": false
}

For more information read this.
