Keystrokes

Ctrl-c


Stops a command or program that is currently being executed.


Ctrl-d


Removes you from the current environment, this will log you out of the system if you are at a shell prompt.


Ctrl-h, Del


Deletes the last character typed and moves back one space. Unlike DOS, the backspace key does not work!


Ctrl-q


Resumes the command that was halted by Ctrl-s.


Ctrl-s


Temporarily halts the current command being executed, e.g. scrolling of text on the screen.


Ctrl-u, Ctrl-x, @


Cancels what you have just typed, so that you can start again.


Ctrl-x


Deletes the current line of text being entered.


ctrl c is used to kill a process. It terminates your program.

ctrl z is used to pause the process. It will not terminate your program, it will keep your program in the background.

You can restart your program using the command fg
