Question 'history' & 'exit' commands not executing in script

When I execute this basic script in urxvt (terminal app):

Code:
#!/bin/sh
reset
history -c
exit
reset executes, history remains, & the windows stays open (does not exit)

By default script executes in a new environment, if you want to execute it in the current environment start it as '. script_name'
