How to stop a jenkins job midway?

I clicked on execute shell 3 times and have 3 shell scripts that jenkins runs during a build. How do I end a job mid build in one of the scripts?

I tried exit but that only ends the particular script and not the job.

If you click on the (?) help icon next to the "Execute Shell" field in your job configuration, you'll see that it says:

the build is considered a failure if any of the commands exits with a non-zero exit code.

Therefore, if you detect that you want to stop the build from a shell script, you can use exit 1 (to signify failure) rather than just calling exit, which is equivalent to exit 0 (which signifies success).

This will stop the build immediately, marking it as a failure — no other build steps will be executed.
