<p>Exit a login shell.</p>
<pre>SYNTAX
      logout [<var>n</var>]</pre>
<p>Returns a status of <var>n</var> to the shell's parent. </p>
<p>A login shell,  is your topmost shell, and is started when
you log in. </p>
<p>When you terminate a login shell (via the commands `exit', `logout,' or the end of file [^D]), you are logged out completely. </p>
<p>Sub-Shells</p>
<p>A
      `sub-shell' is a shell created after login, either by loading a new shell or opening a window with a graphics interface. A sub-shell usually will not
    accept the command `logout' to terminate, you must use `exit' or ^D.<br>
  When you terminate a sub-shell, you are returned to the process or shell
that created it. </p>
<p>Example (starting from a bash shell)  <br>
  $ tcsh<br>
  % # now in the tcsh shell <br>
  % exit<br>
  $ 
  # now back in the bash shell <br>
  $ logout
