OK.  I'm guessing that if 'reboot' works, that's the next command
after gathering status, so I can live with that.

Well, yes:

malus# wsconsctl map | grep Cmd
keycode 41 = Cmd_Debugger Escape
keycode 58 = Cmd_Screen0 f1 F1
keycode 59 = Cmd_Screen1 f2 F2
keycode 60 = Cmd_Screen2 f3 F3
keycode 61 = Cmd_Screen3 f4 F4
keycode 62 = Cmd_Screen4 f5 F5
keycode 63 = Cmd_Screen5 f6 F6
keycode 64 = Cmd_Screen6 f7 F7
keycode 65 = Cmd_Screen7 f8 F8
keycode 66 = Cmd_Screen8 f9 F9
keycode 67 = Cmd_Screen9 f10 F10
keycode 75 = Cmd_ScrollFastUp Prior
keycode 78 = Cmd_ScrollFastDown Next
keycode 91 = Cmd_ScrollFastDown KP_Next KP_3
keycode 97 = Cmd_ScrollFastUp KP_Prior KP_9
keycode 224 = Cmd1 Control_L
keycode 226 = Cmd2 Alt_L
keycode 227 = Cmd Meta_L

So ... that would be Meta_L + ESC?  But which key is Meta_L? The
"Apple / clover" key?

Will test.
