Comment on GNU/Linux: Emergency Restart

Comments

IIRC the kernel needs to be compiled with the magic sysreq keys enabled, so if this doesn't work for you you will likely need to rebuild your kernel. Or grow a couple extra digits.

You don't have to recompile, you can control it through proc (/proc/sys/kernel/sysrq)
