Almost forgot - you might enjoy looking at the "trap" command in bash (and other shells).
Is there a C-shell equivalent of trap?
Never used C-shell. Man csh shows a section "Signal handling" that mentions "onintr". In the builtins later on,it has "hup" processing and an expanded description of "onintr". Doesn't seem to be quite as powerful as bash's "trap", but without testing, one never knows what was omitted from the docs.
The onintr seems to handle the special condition of traps for interrupts of a general nature and hang-ups specifically. If *really* handles general interrupts, implied by the use of that word, or just interrupts as from the keyboard, is unclear to me.
Regardless, from a quick scan of its narrative, it seems less powerful than "trap". But that may be only due to my ignorance.
