If I understand your question correctly, you want to prevent an
interactive user running a shell script from breaking out of it via
CTRL-C and entering the shell directly.
In that case, you can achieve this functionality in your shell script
with the use of trap command.
E.g. this line will print "Ignoring CTRL-C" on CTRL-C keypress which
generates an INT (number 2) signal:
trap "echo 'Ignoring INT signal'" 2
This page http://www.shelldorado.com/goodcoding/tempfiles.html describes
the shell signals quite well, you may want to give it a read.
Thanks!
