Re: Shutdown

[Osamu Aoki <debian@aokiconsulting.com>]

Look into kernel documentation for "sysrq".

Documentation/sysrq.txt 

Alt-Sysrq key will get you out from disastor if you compile kernel with
this option.  This is for Frozen X,... 

*  What are the 'command' keys?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'r'     - Turns off keyboard raw mode. (THIS IS FOR FROZEN X)
's'     - Will attempt to sync all mounted filesystems.
'u'     - Will attempt to remount all mounted filesystems
          read-only.
'k'     - Kills all programs on the current virtual console.

'b'     - Will immediately reboot the system without syncing or
          unmounting your disks.
'o'     - Will shut your system off (if configured and
          supported).
