user prompt with control C in shell scripts

[buffagm]

Hello,

I started work in an enviornment running AIX, when running shell scripts, hitting control-C kills the script. Is there any way I can write a simple program that prompts the user when control-C is hit to ensure a second level of confirmation? Thanks in advance for any help.

Here is a way I would try.

################################################
Clean_up() #clean up on exit
################################################
{

Echo “Are you sure you wish to quit this program? [y\n] \c”
read Q

if [ $Q = y ] ;then
exit
else
break
fi

}
trap Clean_up INT
