Bash Automatic Exit/Log out the SSH Session

Question

I have a script that I want to launch upon a successful SSH session.

So far I have this working by placing the path to my script and the script name in the .bash_profile file.

The script that I have written is text menu driven with multiple choices for the user.

One of the options is quit/exit, which I need (once selected) to exit the script and log-out user from the SSH session.

Is this possible?

I've not been able achieve this as of yet. Exiting the script is easy enough but no matter what I try I always end up with a command line prompt, which in this instance, we are trying to avoid.

Thanks In Advance,

Dan.

Use ssh-keys with a forced command, or investigate the ForceCommand option in the sshd_config file (that would be for all users though). — Carlos Campderrós

Stop on! Thank you so much. You can use the Match user option with this. Great job!. — user2090974
