How to exit() ?

I didn't say I was taking decisions from within my views. :gulp:

I'll give you an example, this goes inside Frontend_controller's constructor

Code:

if(UNDER_MAINTENANCE) {
  
  $this->load->view('under_maintenance');

  exit;
  
}

If I use return; instead of exit;, the under_maintenance view will be loaded, but - as expected - the normal page will be appended at the end (the page that would be loaded if the site wasn't under maintenance)
