    restriction of contol keys in unix script

    Hi All,

    I'm in process of writing one menu program in unix (solaris). That unix script is almost finished. Generally, exit option is provide in all the menu program to toggle between the sub-menus. I don't want to provide any prompt to operators. If operator press any "control" keys (control-c) to abort the script, it will provide a prompt to operator.
    So require some input from your side, so that I can restrict the operators to come out of the running script by pressing any "control" keys.

    Thanks & regards,
    Sam

    Hi Sam,

    I had changed the status of control key for erasing a character when i used to work in UNIX.
    Since im not working with UNIX currently, im unable to check, but
    stty command should help u.

    stty -a command shows you the current assignments of the control charaters.
    Check for Ctrl-C & try to change the existing control.
    Hopefully this helps u.
