Typing exit in terminal app should close it or result in login prompt

[Chris Croome]

If you start the terminal app on Ubuntu Touch and login then type "exit" or do a "Ctrl-D" it results in an unusable terminal application which requires a reboot before it can be used again.

The expected behaviour would be either, the same as in Android, where the application exits, or it should result in a login prompt, as you would get with a virtual terminal.

I have an extension on gnome-shell which provides a permanent terminal. The behaviour for this when entering 'exit' is to simply reset the terminal (as if you had just logged in to the terminal). This is another alternative behaviour.

I wouldn't expect to get a login prompt, as it provides no security or anything, if you can just close and reopen the app. So, close the app or reset the terminal would be good.

Agreed, we should exit the app when the last tab is closed.
