Quit

Quit[ ] terminates a Mathematica kernel session.

Quit[ ] quits only the Mathematica kernel, not the front end.

To quit a notebook front end, choose the Quit menu item.

All kernel definitions are lost when the kernel session terminates.

If you have kept the definitions in a file or in a notebook you can always re-enter them in a subsequent session.

Before terminating a kernel session, Mathematica executes any delayed value that has been assigned to the global variable $Epilog. Conventionally, this attempts to read in a file end.m of commands to be executed before termination.

On most computer systems, Quit[n] terminates the Mathematica kernel, passing the integer n as an exit code to the operating system.

Exit is a synonym for Quit.
