    You really shouldn’t do that. SysRq reboot is like SIGKILL on steroids. If the OS hasn’t flushed and closed every file handle, you can corrupt the shit out of the system. Ask me how I know.

    You can skip waiting for services to stop by pressing Ctrl+C eight times within two seconds. If you really need to reboot using SysRq, then at least do a sync (Alt+SysRq+S) before that.
