Does CTRL SHIFT BREAK work for all HP workstations?

Does "CTRL SHIFT BREAK work" for all HP workstations? Or is it workstation or HP-UX version dependent?

Thanks!

It it possible with entries in /etc/profile and .profile to prevent key combinations from breaking out of the session/script.

So the answer to the question is that this is controlled by software configuration.

I see. I have a B2000 here I can make use of Ctrl-Shift-Break but my C110 doesn't seem to react to it at all. This in case, what should I modify on my C110 to make the Ctrl-Shift-Break combination work?

If it is for stopping XWindows, use CTRL SHIFT Pause.
CTRL SHIFT BREAK is for Linux.
The key Pause may have another label on an english keyboard. Anyway its position in on th top row, last on the right.

Oops !

I made a mistake: for Linux it is CTRL SHIFT BACKSPACE.
I think that Pause in french is break in english. You are right.

Sometimes, what happens is that the left CTRL key is configured as the right CTRL key. Same for SHIFT.
Try then left CTRL right SHIFT BREAK.
