I have a question that has been bothering me for some time. You can map Control Alt Delete to a command. How do you map other key combos to other commands? For instance. Control Alt "Your Key here" would cancel the reboot/shutdown. Or could be set to log out ( a little more difficult since it would have to tell the shell to log out and couldn't be a program ) or to change the keyboard config ( I'm still trying to automate this in the command line ). How do you specify the keys in inittab? Can this be configured within the shell? "Austad, Jay" wrote: > > > CTRL-ALT-DEL does nothing, also. > > > > Doesn't shut the computer down/restart?

Luckily I only use 98 and don't even have to log in. How's that for security. :-) sim
