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
