Linux shell script trap only works sometimes

[Kristian]

Hey,

I have a question.

I created a job with this sample script:

**************

#!/bin/bash

trap "echo 'User has aborted this script'" TERM

result=0

for i in {0..1000..20}

do

result=$(($result + 1))

    echo $result ...

    sleep 1

done

echo "Result is $result"

**************

When I start this script and abort the job, I only sometimes get the message 'User has aborted this script'. Why only sometimes?
