Jun, Lauri is right. However if you are trying to close the session for good, you are going to crash the process that you are in. I believe this is based on the EXITFUNC (Exit Function) that is used (SEH, Process, Thread). But as a best practice, in my penetration testing, I migrate to a service (if possible - depending on level of access) that is marked to auto restart, or just Explorer.exe if I am sure there isn't anyone with eyes on the desktop. Both ways provide you with a less visible crash and hopefully a still completely functional machine after you leave. Hope this helps, -- Rob Fuller | mubix | Room362.com | Hak5.org On Tue, May 12, 2009 at 6:22 AM, Lauri Kiiski <lkiiski at niksula.hut.fi>wrote:

Then you can use sessions -l to list and session -i number to return to the session. _______________________________________________ https://mail.metasploit.com/mailman/listinfo/framework
