Utility to control what happens when CTRL+ALT+DEL is pressed. More information: <https://manned.org/ctrlaltdel>.

  • Get current setting:
    ctrlaltdel
  • Set CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot immediately, without any preparation:
    sudo ctrlaltdel hard
  • Set CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot "normally", giving processes a chance to exit first (send SIGINT to PID1):
    sudo ctrlaltdel soft
