@WingZero, in that case you cannot use the method in this answer. Is RoVo's method with a trap working for you?sudodus– sudodus2018-12-21 10:03:51 +00:00Commented Dec 21, 2018 at 10:03

@WingZero, I added an alternative with the trap method to my answer. Try that shellscript and edit it to make it do what you want.sudodus– sudodus2018-12-21 10:46:47 +00:00Commented Dec 21, 2018 at 10:46

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
