I asked this question. SIGPIPE signal is generated to stop the execution of the command as told in the answer.But how do I capture this signal and gracefully terminate the command? The command exits with an error saying that it is a broken pipe.[ERROR] [Errno 32] Broken pipeis the error message displayed
How to catch a signal in command line?
shell;shell script;signals
AFAIK, the only way to catch a signal like this is to use the trap command. Which you specifically setup an action (function or command(s)) to run when a particular signal is received.Example#!/bin/bashcleanup () {    ...do cleanup tasks & exit...}trap cleanup SIGPIPE### MAIN part of scriptThis approach could just as easily be in a single one-liner vs. a script. The function that is called, cleanup, when SIGPIPE is seen could just as easily be a elaborate one-liner too.$ trap cmd1; cmd2; cmd3; SIGPIPEIf you look back at the original question you linked to: Terminating an infinite loop, you'll notice that this approach is even represented there as well.
