You mean like trapping the CTL-ALT-DEL key sequence and passing it to another program - like Windows NT based login?

or you mean the Trap(s) terms in SNMP like coldStart,warmStart,linkUp,linkDown..

Or trap as in ACPI stuff (Power,Lid,Battery) etc.

Really, trap could mean different things for different OS's.
Any chance you could be more specific?
