Where is the behavior defined for, when I press Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot? Currently it does poweroff instead of reboot, at least in the grml2hd environment.

I want it to be reboot instead, and pressing the power button does the poweroff.

It's usually handled by acpid and defined in /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh (thanks for hint, Nico).
