Thanks for your answers, but if you read carefully my mail, I say that I want Ctrl+Alt+End
to make a stop, not Ctrl+Alt+Del which still make a reboot.
I am not stupid, if I just want this, I know how to do :-)

Thanks to Miquel van Smoorenburg, he is the only one who understand my question :

I understand fairly good, but not the part with KeyboardSignal ; could you tell me more
about this please ?
Thanks.

Yes, it's true, I am sorry about this, but I think that developpers will have more
solutions than users...
