`EXIT`

Exit the current shell (and possibly reset)

Leave the current shell level. This ends a nested shell or an rcload script.

At the drivshell> prompt a bare exit does nothing. To leave drivshell>, type exactly quit (see quit). The built-in help’s “The system is reset” does not apply to SONiC.

exit clean shuts down the SDK on every unit (bcm/soc shut down on unit <n>), leaving the hardware as it is.
Any other single argument prints the usage, but first closes the unit’s warm-boot state file. A typo such as exit foo can therefore affect the next warm reboot.

Warning

exit clean shuts the SDK down underneath a running syncd, and the switch stops working until syncd restarts. exit <anything> touches warm-boot state. Never run either on a production switch.

Unvalidated

drivshell> exit

exit clean

Shut down the BCM and SOC layers of every attached unit.

Unvalidated

drivshell> exit clean

Built-in help
