Rebooting Linux when ‘reboot’ won’t work.

Every now and then you might run into a problem that your Linux box just won’t reboot. …and you do not have console access. If so, try this;

echo s > /proc/sysrq-trigger

echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger

The first command sync’s the drives, the second bounces your box.
