All, I have a server that, for reasons currently unbeknown to me, occasionally suffers from such heavy load that I can't ssh into it. It is not the end of the world, as it is mostly a test server, and rebooting it won't hurt too much, but since I am not physically near the server, I always have to ask someone else to do that for me. However, seeing as pings still work and so do forwarding rules set in the firewall, I was wondering if it is possible to configure the server so that pings from a certain IP address, with a certain pattern (e.g. ping -p "dead" 12.34.56.78), will cause the server to reboot? (Or, even better of course, once I have found the cause of the problems, restart the process that is blocking the whole thing.) It runs SuSE Enterprise Linux Server 11. Thanks.
