Subject: net: sysrq via icmp From: Carsten Emde <C.Emde@osadl.org> Date: Tue, 19 Jul 2011 13:51:17 +0100 There are (probably rare) situations when a system crashed and the system console becomes unresponsive but the network icmp layer still is alive. Wouldn't it be wonderful, if we then could submit a sysreq command via ping? This patch provides this facility. Please consult the updated documentation Documentation/sysrq.txt for details.
