Mark,

I use the ^ = x'5F' from a real 3279 terminal, I have traced it in linux
where ^c is translated to a x'03' so I'm almost sure that it is the right
character ( the same character also works if I use the original boot procedure)

After you told me that ctrl-c works for you I tested it in an old SuSE 2.4.7
and there it also works.

We now run kernel 2.4.19 with updates from the IBM May stream and most other
packages from RedHat.

So the problem is probably in some package.
I tried login from suse but that didn't help.

Mats,

I just tried this with bootshell on a Linux/390 2.4.19 system, and it works
for me:
bash-2.04#
sleep 20 && echo Time ran out
sleep 20 && echo Time ran out
^c

bash-2.04#

What character are you using for the CTRL code?  It should be a carat (^).

Subject: CTRL-C and bootshell on 3215 console window


If we use the standard login program CTRL-C works fine when we enter
it from the VM 3215 console window.
If we change the /etc/inittab to use the bootshell written by
Mike Kershaw or to the script below that was published on this
newsgroup the CTRL-C don't work.

We would like to have the features this kind of bootshell gives us
but we also would like the CTRL-C to work.

Could someone tell us how to fix that or explain why it don't work

Boot shell
#!/bin/bash
CONSOLE="$1"
if [ -z "$CONSOLE" ] ; then \
CONSOLE=/dev/console ; fi
PS1=`hostname`
#PS1="$PS1 # "
PS1="$PS1 \\\$ "
export PS1
SHELL=/bin/sh
if [ -x /sbin/sh ] ; then SHELL=/sbin/sh ; fi
exec $SHELL -i 0<$CONSOLE 1>$CONSOLE 2>$CONSOLE

Thanks,
Mats Westlund
