exit(1) MPE/iX Shell and Utilities exit(1)
______________________________________________________________________
NAME
exit -- exit from the shell
SYNOPSIS
exit [expression]
DESCRIPTION
exit terminates the shell.
On a POSIX-compliant system, the value of expression should be
between 0 and 255. The EXIT trap is raised by the exit command,
unless exit is being invoked inside an EXIT trap.
DIAGNOSTICS
exit returns the value of the arithmetic expression to the parent
process as the exit status of the shell. If you omit expression,
it returns the exit status of the last command executed.
Messages
Because this utility is built into the MPE/iX Shell, see the
sh(1) man page for a complete list of error messages that you may
receive when using it.
PORTABILITY
POSIX.2. x/OPEN Portability Guide 4.0. All UNIX systems.
Allowing an expression rather than just a number is an extension
found in the KornShell.
NOTE
This is a special built-in command of the shell.
MPE/iX NOTES
If you are using the MPE/iX Shell under the MPE/iX CI, remember
that using the exit command at the shell's root level does not
log you off the system but merely returns you to the MPE/iX CI.
