[comp.unix.wizards] I need an interrupt !!

You need to look up the following system calls in order to understand
how to invoke them:-  (1) fork, (2) signal, (3) kill (its man entry.)

First, do a fork()   /* this  takes care  of stdin and stdout */
When the special control character(s) comes in, trap it with the
help of signal(). Usually, the  ninth signal, SIGKILL is a  sure 
kill.

Hope this helps ...
