I just used   exec /   to quit from both ksh and csh.

It's simple, it seems to bump off any huppable stopped or running jobs
nicely, and it's very quick.  The only potential inconvenience is the 
"cannot execute" / "Permission denied" message as the shell prepares to
run a directory and dies trying; maybe you can live with that.
