[tlug] Bash question

["David J Iannucci" <jlinux@example.com>]

Hey, I've got a good technical question :=)

I've got an RHEL7 install on a virtual machine at work, and one thing
that is very irritating about it (among others), is that ctrl-C does not
do its job in bash. When I'm running a normal process (like, say,
tail -f), and I hit ctrl-C, "^C" is output, but the process is not
interrupted. I have to do ^Zkill %1, which gets old fast.

I've never seen this sort of thing happen before. How did I get into
this state? Actually, I'm not sure if the box was like this from the
start, or whether it got into this state after I started using it (which
means it's something _I_ did accidentally).

I've done a good 20 minutes of googling but, no solution yet. In
doing so, I learned this command, and this is the output on the box
in question:

$ stty -a
speed 38400 baud; rows 69; columns 141; line = 0;
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = M-^?; eol2 = M-^?; swtch = <undef>; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R;
werase = ^W; lnext = ^V; flush = ^O; min = 1; time = 0;
-parenb -parodd -cmspar cs8 -hupcl -cstopb cread -clocal -crtscts

isig icanon iexten echo echoe echok -echonl -noflsh -xcase -tostop -echoprt echoctl echoke


Any clues to help me fix this are much appreciated.
