Hi I think the line you are looking for will be in the startup file, /etc/inittab somewhere. Here are the apropriate lines from my own (Slink) system's /etc/inittab file, along with the (very useful) lines immediately below it in the file.
# What to do when CTRL-ALT-DEL is pressed. ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -r now # Action on special keypress (ALT-UpArrow). kb::kbrequest:/bin/echo "Keyboard Request--edit /etc/inittab to let this work." You should be able to edit your /etc/inittab as Root, find the line with "shutdown" in it, and change the "-r" to a "-h". Remember to use the command "telinit q" (still as root) to make Init re-read the changed file. Note, If you never need to shut down your system using [ctrl]+[alt]+[del], you can remap this key combination to _ANY_ command line, not just "shutdown". You can also edit /etc/inittab to assign a command to [alt]+[up-arrow] as shown above. One thing I have experimented with is to assign [alt]+[up-arrow] to the command "pon", and [ctrl]+[alt]+[del] to "poff". I can then start and stop PPP on my Debian box (which is my firewall/IP masq box), without needing to switch my monitor on, wait for it to give a picture, and log in, or needing to telnet in from the PC I want to surf from.
