Control, alt, delete is NOT a 'command' that has a man
page. It is an 'input from keyboard' to a command (if
I am right) but not a command like 'ls' or 'cat' or
etc. So there is not man page. It is a keystroke
command much like the keys I am hitting right now. You
probably know this already, but each key on a keyboard
has a 'number' that it sends to the computer and the
combo of clt-alt-del in this case is recoginized as
the command that that  script is looking for to
'shutdown' the computer, or activate shutdown.

An alternate method, slower, is to go to root in a
terminal and issue the text command. That is basically
what that does without the hassle of changing to root
in a terminal. 

$ shutdown -h now

Cyclists should expect and demand safe 
accommodation on our public roads, 
just as does every other user.  

Nothing more is expected. 

Nothing less is acceptable!

Long live Knoppix!!
