Operating Systems Linux SuSE Disabling interrupt function of Control-C key combination Post 302095273 by Perderabo on Monday 6th of November 2006 02:31:09 AM

If you type "stty -a" you will see your terminal settings. And in that output you will see "intr ^C" which means that your interrupt key is control C. If you want to change it to, say, control E you can use either:
stty intr ^e
stty intr ^E
And you can just type the ^ (shifted 6 on my keyboard) followed by e or E. You can also disable the function entirely with either:
stty intr ^-
stty intr undef

STTY(3) 						   BSD Library Functions Manual 						   STTY(3)

NAME
stty, gtty -- set and get terminal state (defunct) LIBRARY
Compatibility Library (libcompat, -lcompat) SYNOPSIS
#include <sgtty.h> stty(int fd, struct sgttyb *buf); gtty(int fd, struct sgttyb *buf); DESCRIPTION
These interfaces are obsoleted by ioctl(2). They are available from the compatibility library, libcompat. The stty() function sets the state of the terminal associated with fd. The gtty() function retrieves the state of the terminal associated with fd. To set the state of a terminal the call must have write permission. The stty() call is actually 'ioctl(fd, TIOCSETP, buf)', while the gtty() call is 'ioctl(fd, TIOCGETP, buf)'. See ioctl(2) and tty(4) for an explanation. DIAGNOSTICS
If the call is successful 0 is returned, otherwise -1 is returned and the global variable errno contains the reason for the failure. SEE ALSO
ioctl(2), tty(4) HISTORY
The stty() and gtty() functions appeared in 4.2BSD. BSD
June 4, 1993 BSD
