Any software I've come across that uses intentional double ctrl-c shows a message after the first ctrl-c. Something to the effect of "shutting down gracefully, press ctrl-c again for immediate shutdown".

Hence you can just press it once and wait half a second, if no message to this effect appears you can spam ctrl-c.

Yep, this is generally the pattern.
