Re: How to trap ctrl-alt-del?

Setting `kernel.ctrl-alt-del' to 0 just makes C-A-D send SIGINT to PID 1
(instead of triggering a hard reboot). If you want to make SIGINT
trigger a grace shutdown, you can modify the SIGINT handler in the
`service/.s6-svscan' directory.

But I personally do not think changing signal semantics (which is
already a mess [1]) is the way to go; instead, I recommend using
s6-poweroff(8) from s6-linux-init if you are already using that package.

If you machine is ACPI-enabled, you can also configure acpid to spawn
s6-poweroff(8) when the power button is pressed, so you may push the
button to power off your machine.
