Actually, I use sysrq as if it's just another feature. It should (I think it does. . . not sure) only work on the console directly, for security reasons; but it's great when things like X misbehave, or when I've damaged something and the system doesn't want to shut down. AS-E AS-I AS-U AS-S AS-O. :) I actually tried making an N sysrq, for "semi-Normal shutdown." It would send TERM, wait 5S, send KILL, wait 5S, unmount, sync, reboot. Just thought it might be interesting to point out that magic-sysrq can be a helpful feature for someone not hacking the kernel.
