Hey,

I want to lock the computer from any use so like have a program running and it to remove the ability to type. Whats the code for that because I already know the code to stop people terminating it, also I would like the code to stop the rebooting of it if possible. Cheers!

no way to override that from in cc. Not positive if it's even handled in the lua bios code or in java, as the idea is that terminate is a software-thing, like force-quitting a program, while reboot is a hardware thing, like physically turning the computer off and back on.

Don't think there is a code to disallow rebooting/shutdown. But while the code is running, people shouldn't be able to type.

I have a monitor with text in the startup and i wanna be able to remove the ability to type whiles its running

Use this to make it untypeable until the computer restarts.
sleep()
Or use this for an amount of seconds.
sleep(1)

type "edit reboot"

In program, type

term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("Restarts are unavailable.")

That won't work if they use ctrl+r or ctrl+s. There isn't anything you can really do to prevent someone using those since they are hard coded into CC.

The best thing to do is setup ctrl+t and disk boot protection on that computer. That way if the do shut it down or restart it the worse thing that can happen is the program starts over.
