Message-ID: <20010810231906.A21435@bonzo.nirvana> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org How can I reboot a stuck machine remotely, when there are uninterruptable processes arround? shutdown -r, reboot [-n] [-f], telinit 6 do not give the intended results. Localy I can use Alt-SysRq-S/U/B, but what if I still have a remote ssh connection and don't want to have to get to the machines location? Of course the real problem are the processes themselves, but being able to revive a machine is also nice ;) Regards, Axel. -- Axel.Thimm@physik.fu-berlin.de
