sysrqd is a small daemon intended to manage Linux Sysrq over network.

sysrqd's philosophy is to be very responsive under heavy load and try to be somehow reliable. Authentication is made by clear password.

Demo

% telnet localhost 680
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
sysrqd password: hello
sysrq> s
sysrq> u
sysrq> q

s will do a Emergency Sync, q will exit the session. Other command like b (reBoot), o (pOweroff) or u (Umount) are available, and so on.

What's New in This Release:
A problem with the pid file was fixed.
daemon() is used to fork correctly in the background.
An unused TCP port is used to listen.
