Hi,

How to track/trap the keyboard strokes in the script

say for eg, in normal scene, when a script is running, if a press control c, the program gets terminated...

so in this case, how do i trap the keystrokes so as to avoid the abort of the program..

pls help

Control C and other similiar key combination result in signals which are passed to the script or applications. There is a shell command called trap.

Do a man trap and traverse to the trap description.

Also, similiar questions have been raised in this forum before. Use the search feature with the key words 'trap signal'.
