problem with exiting from function

[Shabu Khan-2]

I've done this so many times in the past with no problems, not sure if this has to do with the linux host that I am running on ... but thought I'll post it here.

I've multiple functions:
function1()
{
processing ....
if something; then
echo ...
exit 0
fi

}
similar ...

if [ ${#} -eq "3" ]; then
do this ...
call function1
call function2
elif....
.....
function1
function3
........
........

function1 does not exit even though I've an exit statement, it comes back to where I called from and processes the next function which shouldn't happen right?

any thoughts?

what I meant was I want the script to exit, so basically quit while encountering a particular scenario while in function1 ...

Thanks,
