How to instruct jshell to terminate at the end of the script similarly to interpreters of other languages like for example python3 or node?
Following command
./jshell -q /tmp/shell.java
with script /tmp/shell.java
System.out.println("Hello world");
prints
Hello world
jshell>
and waits for further commands. I'd like it to stop immediately at the end of the file.
I'm looking for something more elegant than System.exit(0); at the end of the script.
Inside the script, use the jshell command /exit.
This will exit jshell at the end of your script.

Another possibility is to have an exit file:
exit.jsh
/exit
And then run:
./jshell --startup myscript.jsh --startup exit.jsh
