Question How to secure my script from Ctrl-C
Hi all

I am looking for a way to ensure that once a user is logged in and running a script, he cannot break out of it.

Thanks

Thank you
what shell are you using?

if using ksh, 'man ksh' and search for 'trap'

Question checked that out too.
I am using ksh. I have checked it out and all it talks of is

-e Executes the ERR trap, if set, and exits if a command has a nonzero exit
status. This mode is disabled while reading profiles.

What next....

Thanks

Solaris' "trap" is more descriptive then that.
Are you sure you don't see anything more about 'trap' in 'man ksh'?

Thanks
