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
