keyboard-request(7)

NAME

   keyboard-request - event signalling console press of Alt-UpArrow

SYNOPSIS

   keyboard-request [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

   The  keyboard-request  event is generated by the Upstart init(8) daemon
   when the keyboard request key combination  (typically  Alt-UpArrow)  is
   pressed on the console.

   The  support  for  this  event  depends  on  your kernel configuration.
   Suggested use for this event includes spawning a new login console when
   pressed, or for secure attention key support.

   This event is not handled in the default Upstart configuration.

EXAMPLE

   A task to be run on the keyboard request might use:

          start on keyboard-request
