If you are still within vi/vim after Ctrl-Z has been issued, then use Ctrl-Q to resume normal mode.

If vi/vim went into background, then use fg

disable control C,D and Z
This is working fine in Solaris

trap "" 2 3 24
echo" Try to press Contrl+Z and see"
sleep 20



NB:- 24 is the code for Contrl+Z(SIGTSTP)
