type 'reboot' in the local console instead of the remote one
Did that a few weeks ago, while working on important kernel updates for a popular ARM platform. whoops. And I had over 100 days of uptime on the box that got rebooted, too.
it was too late when I realized it. I had to watch the shutdown complete and the system restart. It turned out ok, as it eventually motivated me to update the kernel+world and some necessary kernel modules. All good now.
[working versions of the kernel updates are going into the target OS, too. all good]
icon because it's what I did when I saw it.
