[BusyBox] CTRL-C problem on BusyBox 0.60.5

[Agostino Sette ICN-CNX-RD-SW3]

Hello David,

I solved my problem modifying the /etc/inittab in this way:

old /etc/inittab
::sysinit:/etc/rc.sysinit
::respawn:/bin/login 
#ttyS2::respawn:/sbin/getty ttyS2 9600
::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/reboot

new /etc/inittab
::sysinit:/etc/rc.sysinit
#::respawn:/bin/login 
ttyS0::respawn:/bin/getty ttyS0 9600
#ttyS2::respawn:/sbin/getty ttyS2 9600
::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/reboot

Now, when type a ps -ef command I have:

root       317     1  0 18:11 ttyS0    00:00:00 -bash
root       318   301  0 18:11 ttyS1    00:00:00 chat -t 0 -v CLIENT
CLIENTSERVER
root       325   317  0 18:12 ttyS0    00:00:00 ps -ef

So, this e-mail also for tracing, because as you said this is an old
problem.
Anyway, I would like to understand a couple of things:
1. why do I had the problem only on a board with a ppc_7xx
microprocessor and not on a board with 
   a ppc_8xx?
2. why does the CTRL-C command work with 0.60.2 and doesn't work anymore
since 0.60.3?

Thank you very much for your support.
