Does your profile call `exec fish -i` rather than just `fish -i`? In that case, you'll only exit once :) From the `exec` manual: If exec is specified with command, it shall replace the shell with command without creating a new process. If arguments are specified, they shall be arguments to command. Redirection affects the current shell execution environment. https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/exec.1p.html https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/exec.1p.html
