Yes, it's worth noting for those that are less aware that the Suzuki Dzire in the article is a close relation to the Suzuki Swift, which comes in a 5 door hatchback configuration and is not _quite_ as budget minded.

The Swift is quite popular in many countries outside the USA, being a common choice for both first time car owners and seniors in Australia and New Zealand (and no doubt a number of other countries).

Interesting. I'm in New Zealand and hadn't come across this. Being a commonwealth country makes me suspect it's not common knowledge in England either. Or has perhaps as you mention the reasons have been lost over time.

Thank you for your reply.

lgsymons··on “Exit traps” can make your Bash scripts more robust and reliable (2013)
The signals EXIT HUP INT TERM cover everything I've run into (I'm actually using EXIT SIGHUP SIGINT SIGTERM but presumably it's equivalent).

In basic terms for my purposes these respectively account for a clean exit, the terminal emulator being closed, ctrl-c, the kill command (edit: the default SIGTERM kill -15, not the SIGKILL kill -9)
