Kewl !!! I just saw that in the file but it is commented out. Like this: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
# When the kernel panics, automatically reboot in 3 seconds |
| 18 |
#kernel.panic = 3 |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
So, I uncomment this and the system will reboot in 3 seconds? Does it |
| 21 |
sync and unmount or just do the same as me hitting the reset button? |
| 22 |
I'm going to uncomment this either way. If it is locked up, does it |
| 23 |
matter if it is it or me that resets it? lol |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Is there a way to set this without rebooting? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Thanks. Why wouldn't that be a default I wonder? |
