control-alt-delete(7)

NAME

   control-alt-delete  -  event  signalling  console press of Control-Alt-
   Delete

SYNOPSIS

   control-alt-delete [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

   The control-alt-delete event is generated by the Upstart init(8) daemon
   when the Control-Alt-Delete key combination is pressed on the console.

   Typically this combination is used to safely reboot the machine.

   In the default Upstart configuration handling of this event is provided
   by  the   /etc/init/control-alt-delete.conf   task   which   runs   the
   shutdown(8) tool.

EXAMPLE

   A task to be run on Control-Alt-Delete might use:

          start on control-alt-delete
