Hello I have a remote machine running FreeBSD 4.8 that runs my internet radio station (http://www.itsallgoodradio.com) and it has gone wacky. It will be several hours before anyone can get to it to reboot it. I have a ssh login prompt that is still live, but anytime I try to execute a command I get either a Segmentation Fault or if I try to "su" I get an Abort trap. If I try to ssh into it now I get: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host The bad thing is that it is still streaming the same songs over and over (I hope the RIAA doesn't find out ;-). Does anybody have any ideas I could try to stop, kill, or reboot it before we can get to it physically? Thanks -Scott
