Command to disconnect SSH connection from Script

I have this script:

#!/bin/bash
#!/usr/bin/expect
dialog --menu "Please choose the server to connect to:" 10 30 15 1 RAS01 2>temp

#OK is pressed
if [ "$?" = "0" ]
then
        _return=$(cat temp)

        # /home is selected
        if [ "$_return" = "1" ]
        then
                dialog --infobox "Connecting to server ..." 5 30  ; sleep 2
                telnet XXX
        fi

# Cancel is pressed
else
        exit
fi

# remove the temp file
rm -f temp

In the part of the code that says: # Cancel is pressed I want to insert some type of command that will disconnect the session and close the terminal automatically. Ive tried different variations of exit, exit 1, exit 5, close, etc. but none seem to do the trick

Here is what you can do:

kill -9 "$(ps --pid $$ -oppid=)"

But I definitely suggest you not to use this way. A better solution is to get the exit code of your script and exit if needed. For example

yourscript:

#... ...
else
    exit 1
fi

And in your ssh connection you do:

./myscript || exit

This is the correct way. Try to use it
