an easy way to disable escape key in bash?

[dwygant]

I am trying to write a script that uses whiptail as a menu dialog. The script runs at user login. I would like to prevent the user from pressing the esc key and breaking out of the script. Is there an easy way to do this?

I have tried putting the exit command at the end of my script but that seems to do nothing.

Thanks in advance.

You can use the trap command to disable CTR-C:

trap "Ctrl-C is not allowed.." SIGINT

actually whiptail already prevents the CTRL-C from breakin to the shell.

specifically i need to trap the esc key. is this possible?

thanks for your time.
