Gentle Exit #91

Feature_Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Since the script has the ability to maintain where it left off, why not incorporate a "gentle shutdown" feature to allow the script to gently exit and record the last post id scraped, instead of pressing Ctrl-C and immediately forcing the script to come to a full stop?

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to see the implementation of a key code that the script would listen for and begin to gently stop when received.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using Ctrl-Z would cause the script to suspend, which is not the same thing.

Additional context

None.
