No. There is a fundamental difference between the reboot(8) command and Ctrl+Alt+Del: the latter is only available to the user sitting at the console. > we have hacked syscons source code, added this feature, at least, it > works well, but unfortunatly, every time a cvsup will overwrite our > source code, I need re-patch it again, I hate to do it again and > again, so my request goes out. There are several documented ways of preventing cvsup from overwriting modified files (one of which is to use cvs instead). Also, I see no mention of a patch anywhere in your PR.
