+.TH CTRLALTDEL 8 "August 2011" "util-linux" "System Administration"
+.SH NAME
+ctrlaltdel \- set the function of the Ctrl-Alt-Del combination
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.BR "ctrlaltdel hard" | soft
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Based on examination of the
+.I linux/kernel/sys.c
+code, it is clear that there are two supported functions that the
+Ctrl-Alt-Del sequence can perform: a
+.I hard
+reset, which immediately reboots the computer without calling
+.BR sync (2)
+and without any other preparation; and a
+.I soft
+reset, which sends the SIGINT (interrupt) signal to the
+.B init
+process (this is always the process with PID 1).  If this option is used,
+the
+.BR init (8)
+program must support this feature.  Since there are now several
+.BR init (8)
+programs in the Linux community, please consult the documentation for the
+version that you are currently using.
+.PP
+.B ctrlaltdel
+is usually used in the
+.I /etc/rc.local
+file.
+.SH OPTIONS

+Output version information and exit.
+.TP
+\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
