Capturing a ^C to break out of a script?

[Roger Oberholtzer]

I define a procedure that will be called. In this case, it prints a message
and then calls my Exit procedure for a tidy exit:

	#
	# Catch program termination.
	#
	interrupt ()
	{
                cat <<*EOF*

	ERROR: The backup was interrupted before it was complete. This means 		that you must re-do the backup or risk loosing the files.
	*EOF*

        	Exit ${FAILURE}
	}

	trap "interrupt" 2 3
