I already tried to discuss this, but you didn't reply ;) See http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-bash@gnu.org/msg08528.html So, if I understand correctly, you mean that #!/bin/sh interactive_application echo DONE shouldn't be interrupted by SIGINT after interactive_application exits. For example, it can be a text-editor which treats SIGINT specially. But, in this case, shouldn't we fix the script above? In this case the shell and the application should not run in the same tty->pgrp group, or we can add "trap SIGINT". Oleg.
