ctrlaltdel(8) -- Linux man page
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.
