Use an S-Lang macro (untested):

#v+
implements ("CatchupLeave");

static define catch_up_and_leave {
  % store current value of confirm_actions variable
  confirm_actions = get_variable_value ("confirm_actions");
  set_integer_variable ("confirm_actions", 0);
  call ("catchup");
  call ("quit");
  set_integer_variable("confirm_actions", confirm_actions);
}

definekey ("CatchupLeave->catch_up_and_leave", "\ec", "article");
#v-

I'm too lazy now to describe how to source the macro, I'm sure
you'll find out ;-)
