Why do you think you need to exit the frontend? If it's so that the BE
can shutdown, there is a standby mode in the FE settings which achieves
the same.

Setup - General - Shutdown/Reboot Settings - Idle time before entering
the standby mode (minutes):

As for the restarted FE. I guess you're using Mythbuntu, where the
frontend starts from a wrapper script, which automatically restarts the
FE when exited/killed.
