exit status of interactive shell

exit status of interactive shell

Hi,

when leaving a shell, the return status is that of the last command.
This makes sense, especially for scripts. But in an interactive shell, it's 
sometimes a little surprising. I use konsole as terminal app and it displays 
the exit status if != 0 when a session is closed. Now when the session was an 
interactive shell in which the last command failed/has been killed, this is 
displayed.
Is there a way to make an interactive zsh always exit with 0 status unless the 
shell itself died uncleanly?

TIA,
-Malte

presumably you could try to trap EXIT in zshrc.

trap 'exit 0' EXIT

BTW should exit code be changeable by EXIT block? Currently doing

trap 'return 0' EXIT

does not work and I am not sure if it correct.
