File»Log off

The F
ile»Log off command instantly logs off the current account name and
leaves (nobody) logged onto the system. You can also initiate this command
by clicking on the account box near the bottom left corner of the screen,
where the account name appears. When the Welcome to Lookout dialog
box appears, click on the Log Off button.
File»Exit
Security Level: 8
Shortcut Keys: none
The F

process files and asks you to verify that you want to stop the current
processes.
Caution
The File»Exit command shuts down process execution—be very sure that this is
what you want to do before selecting this command. Your Lookout application may be
controlling critical processes, and shutting it down could cause serious problems.
