The way I have it setup now is when I type exit in the terminal, it closes the active window but the application is still open. Is there any way to change the preferences so when I type exit it exits the entire app like it would do in UNIX or Linux? I looked at the settings and there was nothing there so I am wondering if any of you guys was able to do this?

You could try adding "killall Terminal" to your .logout...

All right but where is .logout located. The only file I was able to find was /private/etc/csh.logout

You should create a .logout file and stick it in your home directory.
Use something simple like pico to do it.

I think this command may be more graceful than killall, as it achieves the exact same effect as choosing "Quit Terminal" from the Terminal application menu:
osascript -e 'tell application "Terminal.app" to quit'

Oh, and you may want to run a check to make sure it's Apple's terminal that's running (and not iTerm, an X11 terminal, or a remote SSH login):

Code:
if ("$TERM_PROGRAM" == "Apple_Terminal") then
    osascript -e 'tell application "Terminal.app" to quit'
endif
