Trap smart alecs

[gawdknows]

We run system on a Unix box, through a Telnet session. We have certain processes
that run thw whole day. when these processes run, there are SOME &quot;clever&quot; system users that press <ctrl-C> in these terminal windows. This causes anything running on the
telnet session to exit, and puts the promt in unix.

Is there a way to trap ctrl-c by say ....writing to a file ?
do you have to set up something on unix to trap this command ?

Turn off interrupt key with....

stty intr &quot;&quot;

...but perhaps you could use exec command ? Users that press <ctrl-C> would be logged-out, eg....

exec all_day_cmd

In addition to the stty intr '', I also added stty quit ''

Presuming each login name has a .profile that runs a script, just put exec in front of the script name.

We add

trap 'continue' 0 1 2 3 15

in the .profile

I've the basics now, the interrupt + trap works just fine.
