    Due to some mishaps from time to time, is there a simple PowerShell script to log off of one's computer (or, in the sense of remoting in, logging off a remote computer).  For instance, in PowerShell the script for restarting the computer is 
    restart-computer

    Is there a simple command to log off a computer?

    Try using the logoff executable. Here is the documentation for it:

    PS C:\> cmd /c logoff/?
Terminates a session.
LOGOFF [sessionname | sessionid] [/SERVER:servername] [/V]
  sessionname         The name of the session.
  sessionid           The ID of the session.
  /SERVER:servername  Specifies the Terminal server containing the user
                      session to log off (default is current).
  /V                  Displays information about the actions performed.
PS C:\>

    If you type this command from the powershell console, you might have to follow it with an exit command to avoid finding out that the console needs to be closed:

        PS C:\> logoff;exit
