How to log myself out of ssh, from a bash script?

Question

Connected to a remote server via SSH.

On occasion, I run a specific bash script. When certain conditions are met (it's work completed successfully), I wish to be automatically logged out of the SSH tunnel. In the normal login shell, I simply type logout to logout.

I am unable to do this from a bash script. If I put logout in a bash script, the error is:
logout: not login shell: use `exit'

Query: How do you automatically log yourself out of an SSH connection from a bash script?

Answer 1

If you want to logout after the successful completion of /path/to/shell-script.sh, use:

/path/to/shell-script.sh && logout

A ruder way to do it would be to have the script kill the parent:

kill -HUP "$PPID"

(PPID is a variable that is set by the bash shell, for one).
