Thread: How to terminate the command in shell script

hi,

how terminate command in shell script, expecting ctrl+c terminate. example shell script is

cat /dev/input/event1 > event1.txt
cat /dev/input/event2 > event2.txt
cat /dev/input/event3 > event3.txt


not executing 2nd command, because first command waiting input of ctrl+c terminate. dont want press ctrl+c manually.
there way execute these 3 commands without manuall input.
please me out.

thanks

start in background, wait bit, send kill, ie:

code:

cat /dev/input/event1 > event1.txt & pid=$! sleep 1 kill $pid
