Read "man sh":
exec [command [arg ...]]
Unless command is omitted, the shell process is replaced
with the
specified program (which must be a real program, not a
shell
built-in command or function). Any redirections on the
exec com-
mand are marked as permanent, so that they are not undone
when
the exec command finishes.
