hi mbb.... thanks for the info.. I hope that is what they want me to do.... Smilie
I can't place escape characters or quotes to those special characters when I use them as part of my arguments. I have to find a way to display a message that will indicate that a special character is included in my arguments...

Do you or does anyone know how to do this? Or is there really a way that my script may treat them as an ordinary part of my string arguments? The only hint I got from them (those who are asking me to do this exercise) is that I have to trap the special character before the shell performs the character's function. Smilie(

This is too tough for me... hope I can hear some feedback.. thanks so much in advance..... Smilie

NAME
ctrlaltdel - set the function of the Ctrl-Alt-Del combination SYNOPSIS
ctrlaltdel hard|soft DESCRIPTION
Based on examination of the linux/kernel/sys.c code, it is clear that there are two supported functions that the Ctrl-Alt-Del sequence can perform: a hard reset, which immediately reboots the computer without calling sync(2) and without any other preparation; and a soft reset, which sends the SIGINT (interrupt) signal to the init process (this is always the process with PID 1). If this option is used, the init(8) program must support this feature. Since there are now several init(8) programs in the Linux community, please consult the documentation for the version that you are currently using. ctrlaltdel is usually used in the /etc/rc.local file.
