Enable Control-C interrupt
- Thread starter cardy

Hi cardy
Just follow my step by step approach style
step1:check your interrupt key by using the following command.In most of the cases or default is control-C
#stty -a
step2:If your interrupt key is set to default ...it is okay..
or you can change to any key ..eg;
#stty intr ^M
step 3: Now check for new interrupt key
by using stty -a command with flag
But be sure that M or any alphabet should be unique.

sushveer,
I tried this but it is still not working. No matter what character I use, it won't interrupt my process. I just get the control character displayed e.g. ^C. Other control characters seem to work, e.g. ^Z to suspend the process.
Any other ideas?
Cheers
Cardy

On a system where control-C works -
$ stty -a
speed 9600 baud;
rows = 34; columns = 132; ypixels = 446; xpixels = 811;
eucw 1:0:0:0, scrw 1:0:0:0
intr = ^c; quit = ^\; erase = ^h; kill = ^u;
eof = ^d; eol = <undef>; eol2 = <undef>; swtch = <undef>;
start = ^q; stop = ^s; susp = ^z; dsusp = ^y;
rprnt = ^r; flush = ^o; werase = ^w; lnext = ^v;

As far as I can tell, these outputs are the same!!

Hi,
We have exactly the same problem on a recent SCO 5.0.6 system. No matter what shell you use nor which interrupt character, the interrupt key does not work.
I have submitted the problem to SCO but haven't had an answer yet. I guess one of the os supplements changed that behaviour, since 5.0.5 works very fine.
This problem is very annoing and we hope a solution will be found quickly.
