trap CTRL-C in called scripts 1

[AlbertAguirre]

I am setting "trap "" 1 2 3" at the top of the main script. I am trying to stop users from doing a CTRL-C out of the script onto the command line.

The mainscript has a menu that calls other scripts, but the user can CTRL-C out of these called scripts.

How do I avoid this without having to set the trap in every script that is called from the main script?

Thanx in advance

You may change the intr character with stty on top of the mainscript, resetting it when exit

Hope This Helps, PH.

Youre a genius!

I'm doing the following:
oldstty=`ssty -g`
stty intr "~"
run script menu
stty $oldstty

One question, I am setting the interrupt to a key that I dont think they will press, the squiggly "~"

How can I disable it? Just "" ?

stty intr '^-'
