Exit from SSH using a sh script

I have a RHEL box (bash) and I have SSH'd to an ESXi (sh) from it.

Now on ESXi I have created a simple script 

#!/bin/sh
echo hello
exit

This only exits the script. I want to exit the script + exit the ESXi shell and return to my original RHEL bash.

Thanks much.

If you are only SSHing in for the purpose of running this command, then instead you could just have the ssh run the command for you:

[RHEL]$ ssh user@ESXi '/tmp/myscript.sh'

...and if you needed to interact with the script, or watch it's output, add the -t switch:

[RHEL]$ ssh -t user@ESXi '/tmp/mysctipt.sh'

Remove the shebang ie do

echo hello && exit

save it as script and then source the script like

. script
