google-apps-script what is the Exit command

Question

In my Google Apps Script, when I catch an error, I email a log of the error then I want to exit the script immediately.

I cannot find a command to immediately terminate the script (the equivalent of PHP's exit(). Please can someone tell me how to do this?

Thanks in advance Alec

Return only works if you have a single function without depth. What you actually want is to throw an exception, and catch it (or not) in your top level function. As in throw new Error("ouch")
