just "return".  the main loop of the login scripts sources the supplied
script.  when that script ends, it closes the pty and goes on to the next
router (if there is one).
	send load config
	expect {success {send reset ...} failure {}}
	# script EOF

you could also just call exit, but then you can't run multiple routers from
1 nlogin.
