Can anybody help me to use trap in sh?
A simple script is:
---------
#!/bin/sh
trap "echo trapped" 1 2 15
trap "echo ok" 0
exit 1
echo continue
---------
The result is
ok

I expect
trapped

What's wrong?
Thank you.

The problem is that you are confusing exit codes with signals.
Do a 'man signal' to get a list of all the signals

The trap code executes in response to receiving signal values
specified on the latter part of the trap command.

When exiting a script a signal number 0 is generated which is what
causes the unexpected response.

To test the trap code, one needs to place the script in a perpetual
loop in the background and then send signals with kill and quit
keyboard sequences.

Remember that triggering the trap code will not cause automatic
termination of the script. The trap code should end with an exit
(after disabling the trap 0 if set)
