I want to know how to disable terminals and shell script in TLJH .

I tried to use " jupyter\_notebook\_config.py " with “c.NotebookApp.terminals\_enabled = False” option and “c.NotebookApp.terminado\_settings” option. I put this config file to “/opt/tljh/user/etc/jupyter/” and reloaded, but it didn’t work for me.

Are there any other way?

I don’t use TLJH, but your notebook config might be in the wrong location. I use /etc/jupyter/jupyter\_notebook\_config.py in the jupyter notebook docker image with:

c.NotebookApp.terminals\_enabled = False
