Add panic=10 to the kernel command line to reboot with 10 seconds of a kernel error. Be careful with this when setting up new kernels.
It’s possible to change it later with sysctl, or by writing to /proc:
# echo 10 > /proc/sys/kernel/panic
To make it permanent, edit /etc/sysctl.conf and add the below line:
kernel.panic = 10
`sysctl -p` to load the conf file and make permanent.
A recent user question: How do I reboot my Kindle when it's frozen?Here are a couple of things you can try. First see if you can press Alt-Shift-R, which is the keyboard short cut for a reboot. If it is really locked up this might not work. There is a hard reset button underneath the back cover. Typically, you should not have to reset your Kindle. In the unlikely event that you need to reset you
If you have ever feel frustrated because you have been unable to reboot a machine from a remote location (using Microsoft’s own RDC), here’s a solution. While I recall having the option to send a Ctrl+Alt+Del to the remote machine that doesn’t seem to be available in most recent versions of the software, or at least not in the obvious places.So, what you are left with right now is disconnect
Question: How can I get my Linux server rebooted/restarted automatically if it caught a kernel panic?
Answer: As you might know, kernel panic is an action taken by an operating system upon detecting an internal fatal error from which it cannot safely recover; the term is largely specific to Unix and Unix-like systems (it’s a wiki’s [...]

HP Thursday confirmed that some users of its AMD-based desktops have had problems after installing Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3), and said it would issue a patch this week to prevent machines from spiraling into endless reboots. HP also told users to delay installing XP SP3 until that patch was released.
Microsoft, meanwhile, [...]
Service Pack 3 is merely a stage in the evolution of Windows XP and by no means a fresh start for the operating system. Illustrative of this situation are the problems dating all the way back to SP2, released at the end of 2004, that have survived into the third and final service pack [...]
Reports are all over about problems with some users installing Windows XP SP3; their systems go into a continuous reboot cycle.Now Microsoft has provided an explanation, and it's an interesting one. The problem occurs on AMD-based systems where Windows was build from an OEM image captured on an Intel-based system. Perhaps it never mattered before, but in such cases, and depending on a particular r

Jesper Johansson was among the first to signal this problem after installing XP SP3 on an AMD-based computer, an operation which lead to: "incessant reboots. The computer booted, apologized for not being able to boot properly, asked if I wanted to boot into safe mode, defaulted to normal boot, rebooted, and so on and so on. At this point, I want to clarify that the endless rebooting is not at all
Static routing is the term used to refer to the manual method used to set up routing. An administrator enters routes into the router using configuration commands.

Bob is full of debts.It is small sums he owes here and there.One thousand borrowed for a new computer (a cheap one, but mostly needed), two for a holyday he really deserved, a few more for unavoidable expenses...At the end of the month it is a big sum he has to pay for interests.He urgently needs Debtbuster Loans to reboot his life.Something that could help him having extra money at his disposal in the form of a loan for any purpose without being overrun with debt. Debtbuster Loans will look at his financial position and then tailor a loan from a list of over 300 money lenders that will allow affordable monthly repayments as well as benefiting from low APR.Summing all his debts in one will make it easier to repay them all.

Windows Vista users may recall a glitch in the software update that led them to an endless reboot cycle whenever they tried installing Vista Service Pack 1; this is about two months ago. Microsoft now says the problem stands fixed.In February this year, Microsoft stopped offering its Servicing Stack Update (SSU) KB937287, which is one of the prerequisites for installing Vista SP1. The reason being many users complained about entering a hard-to-break reboot cycle during the installation process.Yesterday in a blog post on its Windows Update Product Team blog, Microsoft said that the problem with the SSU stemmed from 'a few unknown and rare events' during the installation process. Meaning Vista users who've already successfully installed the SSU have no reason to worry. While for those who h

I was writing a post on how to reinstall the mouse using the keyboard when I realised that rebooting the PC using the keyboard would be a required step in the process. So I decided to dedicate a whole post to that topic. I will give a few examples of how this can be done.Using the Start Menu· Press a Windows key (the ones with the Windows symbol on as shown right), this will open up the Start Menu.· Use the cursor keys (the ones with arrows on) to highlight 'Turn off Computer' and press Enter to select it· A dialog box will open. Use the cursor keys to to highlight 'Shutdown computer', 'Turn off' or whatever your version of Windows says, and press Enter again.Using the 'three finger salute'Hold down Ctrl and Alt, and press Delete.Windows 2000 and XP Home Edition users will be presented
If you want to reboot directly into safe mode, you have to (yawn!) watch the computer reboot, watch the various BIOS messages, select which operating system you want to boot with, and then press F8 at the exact moment to enable the Advanced Boot menu.

If you are like reader Miguel and you want to reboot your Windows XP or Vista machine from a .bat file, here is the command to do it:shutdown -r -f -t 0LifeHacker showed you this command here advertising it as a fast shutdown command.shutdown -f -t 0Be warned - it forces apps to close even if you have not saved your work document!There is also a command to cancel an impending reboot. This can be helpful if the system initiated it after an update.shutdown -aSo the -f forces close, -r reboots, -t 0 is how long in seconds before reboot or shutdown and -a cancels it. You can log off a user with -l and -m lets you hit up a remote machine! Go forward young admin and get to scripting. Check out how I use scripts with outlook here.

This will make sure that your computer is not reboot automatically, instead it will just notify you for a reboot. It will be users choice as to when to reboot your computerIf in case you want it to notify you again and again, after a specific interval of time, then look for
I had been using Celetask to do quick one button reboots but my trial expired and I really could not justify $7.95 just to reboot easier. User Maevro over at Howard Forums created a .cab file that adds a Reboot option to your Windows Mobile Device Quick List. Thats the one you get by hitting the power button once. This was tested on the Q, Dash, Wing and my Dopod 730 aka the Cavalier. It should work with all Windows Mobile 5 or 6 devices.

We've all seen it, and we are all annoyed by it. We are particularly annoyed when we have 20 windows open and are multitasking like monkeys in a banana tree (that doesn't make any sense does it?). Anyway, that annoying prompt can be turned off with a little thing called Group policy. The cool thing about group policy is you can apply it to one machine using local a local policy, or many machines at once through an OU in active directory. Either way, it is setup the same.From the Run line type gpedit.msc then click OK. Select local computer policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Re-prompt for Restart with Scheduled Installations.Check the box that says enabled, and set the time interval between prompts in minutes. If you want to not be bothered by the prompt at all, check the box that says disabled. I wouldn't recommend this though, because some patches and updates won't take effect until after a reboot, and if you're like
This is very interesting question. I will keep the answer of this question very simple. First of all there is no scientific research or white paper I can backup my results with. Answer contains part simple observation and part experience.
There is no need to reboot SQL Server. Once it is on it is ON!
However, I have heard that frequent reboot improves performance.
In my company our network administration department has policy to reboot all the servers every 15 days. We reboot all the servers at every 15 days. Regarding performance improvement, our servers are always up and running as great as they can.

Dear IT Support,Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a slow down in the overall performance, particularly in the flower, gifts and jewellery applications that had operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, but installed undesirable programs such as Formula One 5.0, NBA 3.0 and World Cup 2.0.And now Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and House Cleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.What can I do?Signed,Desperate HousewifeReply:Dear Desperate Housewife,First keep in mind:Boyfriend 5.0 is an entertainment package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.Try entering the command C: I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and download Tears 6.2 to install Guilt 3.0.If all works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.But remember, over

First, create a shortcut on your desktop by right-clicking on the desktop, choosing New, and then choosing Shortcut. The Create Shortcut Wizard appears. In the box asking for the location of the shortcut, type shutdown. After you create the shortcut, double-clicking on it will shut down your PC.But you can do much more with a shutdown shortcut than merely shut down your PC. You can add any combination of several switches to do extra duty, like this:shutdown -r -t 01 -c "Rebooting your PC"Double-clicking on that shortcut will reboot your PC after a one-second delay and display the message "Rebooting your PC." The shutdown command includes a variety of switches you can use to customize it. Table 1-3 lists all of them and describes their use.I use this technique to create two shutdown shortcuts on my desktop—one for turning off my PC, and one for rebooting.Here are the ones I use:shutdown -s -t 03 -c "Bye Bye m8!"shutdown -r -t 03 -c "Ill be back m8 ;)!"SwitchWhat it does-sShuts down th

Turning off or rebooting XP involves a several-step process: click the Start menu, choose Shut Down, and then select Shut Down or Restart. If you want, however, you can exit or reboot much more quickly, by creating a shortcut that enables one-click shutdowns.

Reboot is a free application, that when installed places an icon in your applications folder for rebooting your phone easily.

Spinrite finished working on the C: drive and PC rebooted very quickly which to me proved that the problem sectors had been fixed. The Spinrite file was only about 150k in size, its written in Assembler, which on a cost per K basis must make it one of the most expensive bits of software around.
Thought I’d make an edited DVD of the film we took on holiday and thought Windows Move Maker would be OK. Tried to get it to import the VOB files and of course it doesn’t recognise that file format. Did a search for a VOB file converter and found several though most barely worked, or if they did they wanted money for a usable version. Eventually gave up to think again. I could probably find a good full version using bittorrent or even in a warez newsgroup but there is always a chance of getting a virus if you do that.

The Vista laptop got itself a bit confused today. At one point it rebooted itself and then decided that there was something wrong with the hard drive as it invoked Checkdisk. That found several problems with some windows DLL files so decided to delete them and hopefully reinstalled them later. When it had finished that it started OK except that the the Windows Dreamscene Content I used for wallpaper had been replaced with a plain black wallpaper. Vista did pop up a window saying there was a problem with it.
Later on I tried to amend the wallpaper back to the Dreamscene bees and flowers moving image. As soon as I had selected it Vista rebooted itself again. It tried running Checkdisk again which I aborted. It carried on loading with plain wallpaper OK. I amended the wallpaper back to the Dreamscene bees and flowers and this time it installed OK.
Vista then helpfully popped up a window saying that it had recovered from an error and would I like to let it search on-line for a solution o

A perfunctory look at the installation process of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer version 7.0 is sufficient for the end user to realize that Microsoft has not done anything to remove the biggest security flaw in its web browsing software application. The fact that the operating system has to be rebooted during the installation of the web browsing software application clearly indicates that the extent of integration of the web browsing software application with the operating system has not been reduced.For some strange reason, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer simply refuses to let go of its integration with the Windows operating system. On the other hand, the installation process of Mozilla Firefox version 2.0 does not require even a single restart of the computer. All you have to do is to close all running Mozilla Firefox web browser windows. Once the Firefox web browser is not in use, you can go ahead and install the Firefox web browser.

which began to activate automatic shutdown mode. This requires a weekend brain reboot in order to make it through the next week. The search for mental and emotional refreshment led me to visit the old home place property I purchased last year. My early childhood and much of my adolescence was spent there beginning almost 50 years ago. It seems unreal the way time has flown by. I needed to compare the vivid mental maps from my memory and my frequent dreams to what really existed there today. I expected to look behind the heavy overgrowth and thicket and see the old house. Not a single block or brick remained. The sweet gum quartet that once provided shade for the front yard and porch stood tall after close to 100 years. Even the surface root I walked on as a toddler was not phased by time except for being larger. I noticed that the old cedar tree that was 3rd base during all those ball games had grown i

I learned this trick a while back. If you're trying to run WoW, or another game, on a system that barely meets the minimum system requirements you're probably experiencing a lot of lag. While lag can often be caused by the server you're connected to game slowdowns can just as easily be caused by your own PC. This is usually caused by things like iTunes which load when your system does.
While you can certainly pick and choose a bunch of items to close down before starting your game there is a much easier way to boot your computer into a game friendly environment. The trick is msconfig a Windows utility that can be used to control what exactly runs every time you start your system.
Starting and Using msconfig
The easiest way to start msconfig is to select "Run" from the start menu and simply type in "msconfig." Windows will automatically launch the utility and bring you to the configuration screen. You'll see three radio buttons to the left of the first tab - click "Selective
Remote reboot power management can be an excellent stand-alone solution or when combined with a KVM management system. Completing a true ‘lights out’ operations center can happen easily by introducing a simple remote reboot power management solution.Remote KVM over IP access simply permits users to warm reboot computers. In order to cycle power to servers and network equipment, shutting down system power remotely is the only option for a total cold reboot. Remote reboot can be as simple as adding a single port Dataprobe iBoot remote power block or by employing more robust products such as chaining together Server Technology’s Power Tower XL and XM for 32-ports worth of control. Remote reboot power management for the two aforementioned products is accomplished through a standard secure internet browser session – no special software is required. In addition, alternate remote access options such as Telnet of Serial control are available in select models.Please see our website to c
