Logging Out

When you finish your session, you need to log out of the system to ensure that nobody else accesses your files while masquerading as you.

To log out:

• logout

  That's it! Just type logout, and the system will clean up everything and break the connection, and the SSH program might very well just vanish completely.

Tip

• On some Unix systems, you can type exit or quit instead of logout, or press on your keyboard.
