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
