Error description
Currently, the wsadmin correctly exits when sys.exit command is issued, but it incorrectly exits when sys.exit is typed in as part of a procedure (function) definition such as: Current behavior: wsadmin>import sys wsadmin>def example(): wsadmin> print "I am here" wsadmin> sys.exit() ==> wsadmin exits The correct behavior should be: wsadmin>import sys wsadmin>def example(): wsadmin> print "I am here" wsadmin> sys.exit() wsadmin> wsadmin>example() wsadmin>I am here ==> wsadmin exits when example() is called When user defines a procedure (function) and types in sys.exit() text in wsadmin interactive command window, the wsadmin should not execute it like sys.exit() command. The wsadmin should define the procedure, store text and execute the procedure (exits wsadmin) when the procedure is called. It is a bug in the wsadmin interactive command line.
Local fix
use os._exit() instead. It calls the C function _exit() which also does an immediate program termination. The code can be: wsadmin>import os wsadmin>def example(): wsadmin> os._exit() wsadmin> Then you can run to test example() funcion: wsadmin>example()

Problem conclusion
When user defines a procedure (function) and types in sys.exit() text in wsadmin interactive command console, the wsadmin should not execute it like sys.exit() command. The wsadmin should define the procedure, store text and execute the procedure and exit wsadmin when the procedure is called. It is a bug in the wsadmin interactive command line.
