I have modified a shell script i found here:
https://github.com/Slympp/ConanLinuxScript
But im having troubles with the function "conan_stop"
The script just terminates after
exec kill -SIGINT $pid
The script are sending the kill command successfully but after that it just terminates with no error code or anything.
All the variables in the script are defined earlier in the file.
Full function
function conan_stop grep ConanSandboxServer-Win64-Test.exe
shell-script function

exec replaces the shell with the given command, like the exec() system call. When the command (the kill, here) stops, the shell no longer exists, so there's no way for the script to continue.
The two exceptions are 1) when exec is given redirections, in which case it just applies them in the current shell, and 2) when the command can't be executed, in which case exec gives an error and returns a falsy exit code.
So, exec kill ... is almost the same as kill ... ; exit. Not exactly the same, but close enough in this case.

In exception 1 as you descibe, can i redirect the kill command and get the script to continue running after the exec() command?

@junkyhlm, "Redirection" refers to input/output redirections. See e.g. mywiki.wooledge.org/BashGuide/InputAndOutput#Redirection and gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Redirections.html . The thing withexechere is that there's no reason to use it at all. Just run thekillcommand as you'd run any other command. That is, remove theexec.
