How to kill bash script with CTRL+C

I have a bash script which runs a function 10 times, and this function runs 20 imagemagick commands. Every time I press ctrl+C it moves onto the next imagemagick command so it takes 200 ctrl+c's to close the file.

How do I stop it with ctrl+c properly?

Try Ctrl+Z (suspend) and then check output of jobs command. Your script / job should be listed as "Stopped". Then you could simply run kill %i where i is the number inside the [] in jobs output.

Alternatively you could issue a pkill -9 -f <your_script_name> from another session
