Disabling interrupt function of Control-C key combination
I am using informix RDBMS over SUSE LINUX. In linux if you press control-c it acts as an interrupt key. In my program I have used control-c to perform certain functions but it is being overriden by interrupt function of control-c key combination of SUSE LINUX. Kindly suggest me a solution by which I can disable the control-c of SUSE LINUX so that my program control-c works.

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
