Click on image to enlarge.
"exit" is a command used in many operating system command line shells and scripting languages. The command causes the shell or program to terminate. If performed within an interactive command shell, the user is logged out of their current session, and/or the user's current console or terminal connection is disconnected. [Wikipedia]
exit
The "exit" command terminates your shell session. It is always a good idea to terminate your session yourself and not assume that closing the client like PuTTY will automatically cause the server to exit your session by default. For some clients like PuTTY, the "exit" command will also quit the client application on your local system.
