Quit

terminates a Mathematica kernel session.

If you have kept the definitions in a file or in a notebook you can always reenter 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 .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.
