I'm trying to do this from an init script. ___ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/busybox

Hello All, I am executing an ash init script from initramfs. I have only the console for I/O at this time -- no TTYs available. My init script prompts for input like so: printf is that correct? (y|n) - read confirm Should I be able to interrupt ash script execution with a control-C? I am trying to trap it in my script as follows: trap abort 2 In case you are wondering, 'abort' is a shell script function.
