i'm impressed that i see that sysrq also works from procfs.... the 
"PrintScreen/SysRq" button on my keyboard from time to time does not work 
(old keyboard) and then it's pain hitting this key if you have to. 

great news that you can also pass sysrq requests using proc - i've learned 
something today... is this documented somewhere? maybe i'm bad in 
reading/finding docs but i think i'm not the only one here. can somebody 
point me to the links of docs where all this magic is specified? if not, 
i will try to start my own docs on how to use the linux kernel magic. 
mainly a collection of tricks like this and similar ones. 

thank you in advance + greetings,
Damir
