Well, sure. But somehow (don't know exactly how) sth. similar happened to me
lately -- i.e. I ended with not responding rio. And was just thinking: if I
could just kill it... and could not, not having an available shell. Could
not even stop the machine properly (not everybody can have several dedicated
machines, one for a file server, one for a terminal...). I even 'lost' some
of my data then, probably for having to press that ^t^tr and not stop the
filesystem -- one of my files just had a zero lenght after the reboot. To
some it up: I just always feel better when having some possibility to get to
some shell somehow and enter commands... (true, had I set up the files
allowing me to log in from a remote machine, it could have been some
solution then; but this also is not always on hand)
