CTRLALTDEL(8)              Linux Programmer’s Manual             CTRLALTDEL(8)



NAME
       ctrlaltdel - set the function of the Ctrl-Alt-Del combination

SYNOPSIS
       ctrlaltdel hard | soft

DESCRIPTION
       Based on examination of the linux/kernel/sys.c code, it is clear that there are two
       supported functions that the Ctrl-Alt-Del sequence can perform: a hard reset, which
       immediately  reboots  the  computer  without calling sync (2) and without any other
       preparation; and a soft reset, which sends the SIGINT  (interrupt)  signal  to  the
       init  process (this is always the process with PID 1).  If this option is used, the
       init (8) program must support this feature.  Since there are now several  init  (8)
       programs  in  the Linux community, please consult the documentation for the version
       that you are currently using.

       ctrlaltdel is usually used in the /etc/rc.local file.
