Bug Description

Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del in Ubuntu 13.10 server console does not reboot the machine.

Reason:

The shutdown command in the file /etc/init/control-alt-delete.conf is missing the /sbin/ prefix:

exec shutdown -r now "Control-Alt-Delete pressed"

Fix:

Add the prefix /sbin/

exec /sbin/shutdown -r now "Control-Alt-Delete pressed"

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage.
