[Linux-disciples] Ctrl+C and scripts

[Stephen R Laniel]

If you send Ctrl+C (SIGINT, I guess more specifically) to a
script, it seems as though Ctrl+C only stops the running
process. So if, for instance, your script is

#!/bin/sh
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

and you press Ctrl+C while the update is running, the script
will continue on to the upgrade and you'll need to press
Ctrl+C again.

If you want the SIGINT to interrupt the whole script, how
would you do that?
