-------------------------------------

Coincidentally, I've a similar problem with Tuscany using JLine and ctrl-c not working so googling for solutions i found this JIRA along with many others trying to fix it with no answers. So i did some debugging of the JLine code and I think the problem is in the windowsbindings.properties file shipped inside jline which maps ctrl-c to INSERT with a comment saying "(frankly, I wasn't sure where to bind this)". That does not seem a great choice as that is what disables the ctrl-c interupt. It is possible to pass in your own bindings properties file but to do that has some problems of its own so the simplest solution seemed to be the following code which resets the ctrl-c binding:

       ConsoleReader reader = ...

        try {
            Field f = ConsoleReader.class.getDeclaredField("keybindings");
            f.setAccessible(true);
            short[] keybindings = (short[])f.get(reader);
            if (keybindings[3] == -48) keybindings[3] = 3;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace(); // shouldnt happen
        }

You can then add an ActionListener to do what you want when ctrl-c is pressed, eg:

        reader.addTriggeredAction((char)3, new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                System.exit(0);
            }
        });

> On Windows XP, if I start a Geronimo Tomcat 2.1 server using bin\start-server from a command prompt, I am noticing that the server can not be shutdown using Control+C.  So, I am using Admin Console to shutdown the server.  But it does not return to command prompt unless I kill the java process from Windows Task Manager.
> Jarek says, "As a workaround, you can start gshell with -T false option and then
> control-c worked fine while running the server in foreground."
