Cause
Press ctl-alt-del key sequence via ILOM remote console and server is rebooted.
Solution
Take a backup of /etc/init/control-alt-delete.conf file
Disable the settings in the /etc/init/control-alt-delete.conf file by completing the following:
- Create /etc/init/control-alt-delete.override file and
- Add the line “exec /bin/true” in the above file
- Run “initctl reload-configuration control-alt-delete” to reflect the changes
