That sounds like the right way... but remember that Kernel.exit()
doesn't actually exit immediately (in the unix sense of exit(2)), it
just raises an exception, so you can rescue it:
~ % ruby exit.rb
#<SystemExit: exit>
#<SystemExit: exit>
~ % cat exit.rb
2.times do
begin
exit
rescue SystemExit
p $!
end
end
