Exiting Spark-shell from the scala script

Question

I am using this command to run scala scripts.

spark-shell -i test.scala

At the end of the execution of the script I still see spark-shell running.

I have used ":q/:quit" in the test.scala script to try and exit but it's not working.

You need to add exit() at the end of your script to avoid stepping into scala REPL.

Helloworld.scala

print("Hello World");
print("Second Line");
print("Bye now");
System.exit(0)

Run above

spark-shell -i helloworld.scala

You may need to use `System.exit(0)`. `exit()` did not work for me. – dkoes Sep 25 '16 at 01:11
@dkoes Thank you for System.exit(0). exit() did not work for Spark v2.1.1 – PanwarS87 Jun 28 '17 at 20:10

In scala you can use sys.exit(0) instead of System.exit(0) – Jelmer Jul 09 '19 at 09:28
@Jelmer i use 2.11.8 and your answer was the only one working, cheers! – JBoy Jan 13 '20 at 16:00

In version 2.4.3 System.exit(0) is working.

I also like the echo :quit | spark-shell ... answer that was offered on another question.
