I learned from https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/230568/674 thatping will exit with 0 after receiving SIGINT, which allows a bash script containing a ping command to continue running instead of exiting.



I have a script with similar behavior:



#!/bin/bash 

while true; do
sudo -S sleep 4;
echo $?
sudo -k;
done


When I run it, I type Ctrl-C when it asks me for password, and the script doesn't exit, but continue running. The only difference is that sudo upon receiving SIGINT exits with 1 not 0. So I wonder why the bash script doesn't exit but continue running? Thanks.



$ ./test.sh 
[sudo] password for t:
1
[sudo] password for t:
1
[sudo] password for t:
1
...
