Configure systemd to output text to the console instead of reboot.

    First, create a shell script to generate the output and send it to the console.

    mkdir /etc/scripts

cat << EOF > /etc/scripts/ctrl-alt-del.sh 
#!/bin/sh

/bin/echo "" > /dev/console
/bin/echo "Nope. This isn't Windoze." > /dev/console
EOF

    Next, create the two systemd files.

    rm -f /lib/systemd/system/ctrl-alt-del.target 
rm -f /lib/systemd/system/ctrl-alt-del.service

cat << EOF > /lib/systemd/system/ctrl-alt-del.target
[Unit]
DefaultDependencies=no
Description=Ctrl-Alt-Del
Requires=ctrl-alt-del.service
StopWhenUneeded=yes
EOF

cat << EOF > /lib/systemd/system/ctrl-alt-del.service 
[Service]
DefaultDependencies=no
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/etc/scripts/ctrl-alt-del.sh
EOF

    Finally, reload the systemd daemon.

    systemctl daemon-reload
