RE: Control-C in bash ???

This must be a minicom setting (although I can't find it) --
control-C works fine for me in minicom.

Subject: Re: Control-C in bash ???

On a PC, I can, for instance, enter "ping 192.168.1.4", then hit Control-C
and stop the ping.  For the life of me, I can't figure out how to do the
same on my MPC860 system!!!

I have an MPC860 running 2.4.19, with a mostly unmodified eldk

distribution

from Wolfgang Denx.  I did modify the init script to use /dev/console

instead

of /ttyx (standard driver using SMC1).  I'd not only like a solution, I

want

to undertand how cancelling a shell command is supposed to work  - I've

poked

around and I can't figure out what's supposed to happen - Does the shell
generate a SIGINT, or the uart driver, or what?  Any enlightenment will be
greatly appreciated...

I belive that the problem is that the control-C never arives on
the console as the serial-comunication package you are using does
not deliver it (atleast minicom does not) - You can use ping -c 1
(not sure if your ping also takes -c # for the count) to ensure that
it will terminate after one ping package. That was my workaround...
