How to exit sh program?

Question

I bungled the commands and wrote sh -man

Now I've entered a program called sh-3.2 that is seemingly impossible to exit.

Ctrlc,Ctrlz, or Ctrlxdoes not work.

exit, quit, q, :q also does not work.

All google answers are for exiting shell scripts programmatically.

Answer 1

Ctrl+D does the trick for me.

Actually it is the -n flag that introduces this behaviour. It is meant to do only syntax checking of the commands, but doesn't actually execute them.

Answer 2

Try ctrl+d that should kill the shell.

Answer 3

If you can paste the "bungled" shell script here, we can all see and comment on how to properly exit from it. Unless you executed a "trap" statement and prevented ctrl-c from functioning as expected, ctrl-c should break the execution of the script at any given moment.

Please post your code for a better answer

Answer 4

Try logout or Ctrl+d. They are the same.
