Script Exit/Reinitialization

All--

Apologies in advance if these have been asked-and-answered but with
Googling and experimenting I haven't been able to find a configuration
yet ...

has anyone done either of the following:

- pass or embed a console-exit -- "^Ec." -- through a forced ssh
command.  Ie., running a forced script (menu) and an option is to exit
and thereby close the console.  Like an expect line or something
similar?

- or is there a way to simply disable the reinitialization or limit it
to a single ondemand initialization?

Thanks!
