Use case for logout of shell

Hello Experts,

I have a use case -

Currently, in my .profile I have added "bash" at the end so while logging in, it will be bashed as well. Which is working fine and no issues.

But while logging out, I have hit exit two times like 1st exit will come out of bash shell and 2nd exit will come out of the server.

So is there a way, that I can log out of the server with one exit from bash?

Why the need at all to run bash from .profile? What's your login shell? Could you ask your sys admin to change your login shell to bash.

If you can't get your admin to change your login shell, you should also just be able to change the last line in your .profile from something like:
Code:
bash

to something like:
Code:
exec bash

Adding the exec will cause your login shell to be replaced by bash so you won't need to also quit your login shell after you quit bash.

At the top of each page of a thread, there is a section titled "Tags". At the top right side of that section there is a button titled "Edit Tags". If you hit that button, you can add, change, or remove tags. You can use that button to add the "solved" tag indicating that you have found a solution to the issue raised in the thread. (I have done that for you for this thread.)
