This indeed looks intriguing, but my first reaction is that it is likely only workable in a small slice. I.e., when the machine is locked up enough that nothing else will work, but you still have a working network stack (and the daemon itself is still working). Seems a small slice.may I add that https://github.com/jd/sysrqd works beautifully
That said, do you know if it will work if the machine is stuck in a "D wait" ?
I ask because I have one machine that is up all the time, but every so often (say, every few months), it gets stuck in a "D wait" and I have to power-cycle it to get it working again. The machine is used primarily to run omxplayer and what happens is that eventually omxplayer (or dbus) gets stuck. When that happens, I can reboot from the command line, but the reboot does not complete (b/c of the process stuck in "D wait"), so I end up power-cycling. Would the above mentioned daemon allow the machine to be forcibly rebooted even in this situation (without pulling power) ?
