====== Rebooting linux without reboot command ======


Just a sample of how you can reboot or shutdown linux without issuing reboot command, so called hard reboot. That means that system will just make a reset as if you pressed a reset button, without running any shutdown scripts, etc. A kind of dangerous staff, but can be helpful in some occasions.

  echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq 
  echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger
 
If you want to force shutdown machine try this.

  echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
  echo o > /proc/sysrq-trigger
