# system.vision.exit

> Exits the running Client, as long as the shutdown intercept script doesn't cancel the shutdown event.

:::info Backwards Compatibility
This function replaces [system.util.exit](versioned_docs/version-8.1/appendix/scripting-functions/system-util/system-util-exit.md). Any scripts containing Vision Client scoped functions that were replaced with system.vision syntax will still work to maintain backwards compatibility.
:::

This function is used in **Python Scripting**.

## Description
Exits the running Client, as long as the shutdown intercept script doesn't cancel the shutdown event. Set force to true to not give the shutdown intercept script a chance to cancel the exit. Note that this will quit the Client completely. You can use system.vision.logout() to return to the login screen.

## Client Permission Restrictions
This scripting function has no [Client Permission](../../../ignition-modules/vision/vision-project-properties/vision-project-properties.md#vision-permissions-properties) restrictions.

## Syntax
`system.vision.exit([force])`

### Parameters
Type | Parameter | Description 
------- | ------- | ------
Boolean| `force` | If true (1), the shutdown-intercept script will be skipped. Default is false (0). [optional]

### Returns
Nothing
### Scope
Vision Client

## Code Examples
```python title="Example #1"
# This code would exit the Client after confirming with the user.
if system.vision.showConfirm("Are you sure you want to exit?"):
   system.vision.exit()
```
