I can assure you they are efficiently enough archived. I asked why
Alt+ArrowUp would shutdown the system while it's not configured to
perform that task, and whether it would be safe to comment the line
which refers to it in /etc/inittab:
# Action on special keypress (ALT-UpArrow).
kb::kbrequest:/bin/echo "Keyboard Request--edit /etc/inittab to let this
work."
See? it doesn't say anywhere to shutdown the system (at least that I
know), but it does.
The answer I got about a year ago was about configuring Ctrl+Alt+End to
perform the shutdown task, which works perfectly.
Thank you anyway for your concern
