Subjectsysreq over serial console
I administrate machines remotely, and  sometimes, they run out of processes,
or other nice things like that, and I'm looking for the sysreq patch, or
something like that, so that I can kill processes and/or reboot the machine
through the serial port (configured at serial console).

I saw a patch a while ago that would do what I need I think, but I can't
find it anymore, and I don't know if it'd still work on 2.2.x kernels...

(yes, I also know about softdog, the software watchdog, but in some cases, I
find that it triggers either a bit easily and reboots my machine for
nothing, or sometimes, I'd like to assess the situation myself and decide
what to do (in some cases I have shells opened on the machine and it lets me
fix the problem without rebooting))

Thanks for any pointers,
Marc
