DESCRIPTION

      Based  on examination of the linux/kernel/sys.c code, it is clear that there are two supported functions that the
      Ctrl-Alt-Del sequence can perform: a hard reset, which immediately reboots the computer without calling sync  (2)
      and  without  any other preparation; and a soft reset, which sends the SIGINT (interrupt) signal to the init pro-
      cess (this is always the process with PID 1).  If this option is used, the init(8)  program  must  support  this
      feature.   Since there are now several init(8) programs in the Linux community, please consult the documentation
      for the version that you are currently using.
 
      ctrlaltdel is usually used in the /etc/rc.local file.
