[julia-users] Re: signals handling

[Stephen Chisholm]

I'm able to catch the InterruptException with the code below when running 
in the REPL, but it doesn't seem to get thrown when running the code in a 
script.

while true
    try sleep(1)
        println("running...")
    catch err 
        println("error: $err")
    end 
end
