if you really nead a reboot and you have sysrq (Magic Sysrq Key in the

echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger
to reboot - if your system is still alive then you can try the combination
ALT+"Print Screen"
to get the Sysrq-Menu in the console and then press the key as shown on the oncoming menu.
more information you could find in the file sysrq.txt in the documentation directory of the linux kernel sources.
hope this helps you.

You could try a killall -9 zombie_process_name before reboot. man reboot has no force reboot option that i can see.

is there a way to force an instant reboot? in some cases "reboot"
doesnt work, as it seems to do many things before actually initiating a
phsyical reset, like shutting down processes. ive now run into the
situation a few times where zombie processes or module problems can
prevent "reboot" from completing its task.
I do not have a 'sysrq'. I am using Slackware v9.1, kernel 2.4.22. Is 'sysrq (Magic Sysrq Key in the Menu Kernel hacking)' distribution specific. grep -i sysrq /usr/src/linux/.config returns 'null'. ?
Anyhow, I use 'halt' to shut my systems down in a hurry.
