So, I am making a program that I do not want ayone using being able to access the files. So, when I need to use os.pullEvent(), I use os.pullRawEvent() to stop someone from being able to Ctrl + T out of the program and wreak havoc. If I use sleep() or read(), as far as I know, they both use os.pullEvent(). How would I go about remaking sleep() and read() so that the programs that they are in cannot be terminated. Thanks!

If you have

os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw

near the start of your code, it will change os.pullEvent to os.pullEventRaw for all programs (until you change it back or restart the computer)
If you want to save the old pullEvent (which you should) do

local oldPull = os.pullEvent
os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw

That way you can do

os.pullEvent = oldPull

to change it back.

I believe you are not quite understanding how pullEvent and pullEventRaw work. if you call os.pullEventRaw or not when events are passed they will still go to os.pullEvent to counter this we can actually redefine the function. pullEvent and pullEventRaw are exactly the same functions with the same handling except pullEvent handles terminate events specially.

As simply put as possible this will completely override os.pullEvent and terminate

os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw

That should work, thank you!

if you override the os.pullEvent function with os.pullEventRaw everything works as you are intending:

os.pullEvent = os.pullEventRaw

Thats it
