Hi,

While browsing init and inittab manpages, I found a kbrequest-item. It
gets run when the KeyboardSignal key is pressed, but it doesn't seem to
work. The manpages state:

SIGNALS:
init reacts to several signals:

SIGWINCH: the kernel sinds this singal when the KeyboardSignal key
is hit. It activates the kbrequest action.

If I send SIGWINCH to init, the kbrequest-thingy gets run. How do I get
the kernel to send the signal when I press a key?
