On Interupt. Control the action of a shell interrupt.
Syntax
onintr -
onintr label
Options
- Ignore all interrupts
label Cause the shell to execute a `goto label' when
an interrupt is received or a child process terminates
because it was interrupted.
Without arguments, onintr restores the default action of the shell on interrupts, which is to terminate shell scripts or to return to the terminal command input level.
onintr is ignored if the shell is running detached and in system startup files (see FILES), where interrupts are disabled anyway.
