This article will cover the syntax of the ‘exit script’ control script statement

This is a statement that ends the execution. It can be used anywhere in the script to force a stop. 

Statement syntax

Exit Script [ (when | unless) condition ]



When | Unless

If the script execution should only stop if certain conditions are met, the when/ unless clause can be used to achieve that.

Condition

These are logical expressions that will be evaluated to decide whether to stop the execution. They must evaluate to True or False.

Example

This is an example of a simple exit script statement.

Result

The result is that whenever an exit script statement is used, any subsequent code is not executed.
