Read "man sh":

      exec [command [arg ...]]
              Unless command is omitted, the shell process is replaced 
with the
              specified program (which must be a real program, not a 
shell
              built-in command or function).  Any redirections on the 
exec com-
              mand are marked as permanent, so that they are not undone 
when
              the exec command finishes.
