&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;The magic SysRq key provides a way to instruct the kernel through the {{code|/proc}} pseudo-filesystem. It must be enabled with the kernel during compile time with the {{code|CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ}} option and is standard for most distributions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Rebooting ==&lt;br /&gt;
Suppose you have a system that you can SSH into but cannot reboot because the system disk is dying or the SATA bus is in some weird state and no IO is actually working.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{highlight|lang=terminal|code=&lt;br /&gt;
# reboot&lt;br /&gt;
bash: /sbin/reboot: Input/output error&lt;br /&gt;
# shutdown -r now&lt;br /&gt;
bash: /sbin/shutdown: Input/output error&lt;br /&gt;
}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or perhaps the system disk is fine, but {{code|sync()}} isn&amp;#039;t returning which causes {{code|reboot}} to hang even with the {{code|-f}} option. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To reboot the machine in such a state, enable sysrq and write &amp;#039;b&amp;#039; to the sysrq-trigger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{highlight|lang=terminal|code=&lt;br /&gt;
## Enable sysrq&lt;br /&gt;
# echo 1 &amp;gt; /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
## Reboot the machine without sync immediately&lt;br /&gt;
# echo b &amp;gt; /proc/sysrq-trigger&lt;br /&gt;
}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
