Consider this snippet:
Code:

trap 'echo "Caught Signal"' SIGHUP SIGINT SIGTERM
while true; do
    ...
    sleep infinity
    ...
    ...Anything here will NEVER run
    ...  unless sleep is killed
    ...
done

Why? signals do not interrupt sleep.
Code:

trap 'echo "Caught Signal"' SIGHUP SIGINT SIGTERM
while true; do
    ...
    sleep [ 1 | 60 | xx | infinity ] &
    wait $!
    ...
    ... runs as expected after sleep or signal
    ...
done

Note: sleep process is not terminated
