From the man page of skill

These tools are obsolete and unportable. The command syntax is poorly defined. Consider using the killall, pkill, and pgrep commands instead.

so you could use pkill -KILL -u uid.

But why kill every process with the KILL signal? You can just call exit after your script:

script.sh ; exit
