Depending on settings, that may or may not save that invocation's
history.  You'll likely want to test to verify that it does what you
want.  But, as Greg pointed out, C-d or "exit" will generally ensure
the right thing happens.  If you weren't aware, C-d is the traditional
terminal setting for end-of-file (EOF).  It is a system level setting
to indicates no further input is coming into this terminal, which
causes the shell to exit.
