how can i inject a control character in the script (e.g ctrl - C)? my objective is to terminate an active console session when someone enters a command that is not allowed to use.

Maybe try sending a signal instead of attempting to use crtl-c, there is a section on it in the bash man page.

Is this within the context of a script? If not, how are you planning to monitor what commands are being entered?
Is there a reason you don't want to simply control what the user has access to with file permissions instead?

@ jeo
i believe its within the script.

@darthway
i'll try that. by the way its a remote user that i want to terminate his/her console session.

Ok! If you run something like this from inside a script, it should kill the session, but it won't save history or anything useful like that. Do you want to block them from returning, or just kick them out?



I'm not sure if there's a "proper" way to exit the shell from inside a script...
