.SH NAME
keyboard-request \- event signalling console press of Alt-UpArrow
.\"
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B keyboard-request
.RI [ ENV ]...
.\"
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B keyboard-request
event is generated by the Upstart
.BR init (8)
daemon when the keyboard request key combination (typically Alt-UpArrow)
is pressed on the console.

The support for this event depends on your kernel configuration.  Suggested
use for this event includes spawning a new login console when pressed, or
for secure attention key support.

This event is not handled in the default Upstart configuration.
.\"
.SH EXAMPLE
A task to be run on the keyboard request might use:

.RS
.nf
start on keyboard-request
.fi
.RE
