Thanks Peter. Tried that, unfortunately with the keyboard also "hang" it wasn't able to see that I was trying to do a sysrq. Bummer! I also tried to "echo # >/proc/sysrq-trigger" but apart from enabling sysrq-trigger I am not aware of it being able to cause an external non-keyboard sysrq. Thanks Jason. I don't see how to clearly utilise strace with a function like events/0 which is really a working-task child of the generic events responder. Cheers.
