I used an exit trap to kill an SSH agent that I am running, and I noticed that dash did not kill if the script was interrupted, but only if it ran to successful completion.

I asked on the mailing list if this was expected behavior, and it turns out that POSIX only requires EXIT to run on a clean shutdown; to catch interruptions, add more signals.

  trap 'eval $(ssh-agent -k)' EXIT INT ABRT KILL TERM
