Actually, its intercepted by the OS, and it initiates the same command that
your "reboot" or "shutdown now -r" would do. Its a completely graceful
shutdown that can be done from the console only.
The only possible downside would be that it doesn't require you to be logged
in to do it.

actually, it's a function of the hardware, not the operating system.
