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
