Thanks for the link (now I remember again).

It doesn't:

## LL location:
# random command
r.in.srtm.region -1 user="Neteler4520" password="13Heymel. at nasa"
output=srtm_sicily_1arc memory=2000 --o
Importing 4 SRTM tiles...

KeyboardInterrupt

The function atexit() is used:

grep atexit $HOME/.grass7/addons/scripts/r.in.srtm.region
import atexit
    atexit.register(cleanup)

We discussed this in March 2018, but yet without result:
