On a running system, you can put a value in /proc/sys/kernel, and the system will reboot after that many seconds after a panic. Very useful for a remote system. (There's an /etc/sysctl.conf setting for this, too.) There's probably a kernel config option somewhere to make the default be something other than '0' (which is disabled), which I suppose you'd want to make sure it's active immediately at boot. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>
