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
