Hmm... not entirely sure how this helps but hey.. here you go feel
free to try the following :-) (carefully !)
echo $foo > /proc/sysrq-trigger
where $foo=
s -> sync disks
b-> reboots kernel (does not un-sync mounts !)
u-> unmount
and the fun ones..
l -> kills all running processes....
o-> shutdown system

Hi,
I have been doing testing simulating failures.
Are there any Linux guru's there who might know of a way of telling
a Linux box to power off without killing processes? Just flush the
disks and switch off...
Any ideas? :)
Ben
