 |
|
This is my problem, I have an application that runs un the console (with frame buffer) and I've noticed that if I press ctrl+c it goes out of it, thats very annoying. I need to disable that, I've searched google groups and found that I could do:
To disable the ctrl+c combination of keys, and, if I ping my machine for example it works fine. But it doesn't affect my application and I still can quit with ctrl+c.
The programs I'm using are AdvanceMAME and AdvanceMENU. In X this doesn't happen, but the machine where I'm using this doesn't use X.
Is there a way to do disable this other than the one I've just tried?, do you know why isn't that way working?, Any other ideas?
Thank you. |

| ctrl-c is interpreted by bash. A quick and dirty way of disabling it (and all other escape keys) would be to no run bash underneath. Either make advancemenu your default shell (but make sure that you have a seperate user to do other things with) or use exec. Exec forks, then kills the parent, useful for a lot of stuff. Course you will have to login again when your done with mame. |

Unfortunatelly, none of the two solutions worked, with ctrl+c it catches the break and returns to the login prompt.
The only solution I found till now is to modify the source to catch the signal and don't do anything. But I'd like to find something that I can use without having to modify the source in every update. |
