I think it's meant to. Why are you using exec? The idea with exec is
that it completely replaces the currently running process with a new
one, the result is that the bash shell you were running is completely
obliterated, so that when the commands above finish that's it, the
process ends and you have no shell to return to.
I've only just reliased what you're trying to do and I reckong you want
eval, this will execute it's arguments as a command and will return you
to the shell when finished,
