From: Cecil Westerhof on 28 Jul 2010 06:27 When giving [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Delete] you can log out, shutdown and reboot. Personally I think it would be nice if you could also select suspend and hibernate. Would it be possible to integrate those options? -- Cecil Westerhof Senior Software Engineer LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/cecilwesterhof

On KDE4 on openSUSE 11.2, key combo that pops up the logout box. The shutdown on it has a sub-menu allowing the additional option of "suspend to disc", possibly because it's a desktop system not a notebook, which is accessible by clicking and holding on the shutdown button.

I did not see that. Very handy to know. By shutdown you can hibernate and suspend and by reboot you can select in which OS you want to reboot. But I am not easy to please. I would like to work keyboard based. In this situation you need to use your mouse. Is there a way to do it completely with the keyboard? -- Cecil Westerhof Senior Software Engineer LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/cecilwesterhof

Assuming you still have an /etc/inittab (it is now /etc/init/control-alt-delete.conf for systems with upstart), you make the appropriate settings in there. # Trap CTRL-ALT-DELETE ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now You can have CTRL-ALT-DELETE do one thing, CTRL-ALT-UPARROW another, CTRL-ALT-DOWNARROW do yet another etc. Be very careful though or ensure that you have a rescue CD, because if you make an error in /etc/inittab you may not get a working system.
