Bug#330403: sysrq: no time for terseness
Package: linux-doc-2.6.12
Version: 2.6.12-2
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.12/Documentation/sysrq.txt.gz
Tags: upstream
sysrq.txt.gz should say more about "oom_kill". One doesn't know where
to look to learn more.
P.S., and please pass this to who is in charge:
When we try the h command, we get
SysRq : HELP : loglevel0-8 reBoot tErm Full kIll saK showMem Nice
powerOff showPc unRaw Sync showTasks Unmount
How does "Full" correspond to killing hogs? And "kIll" might look like
"klll" on some terminals.
Anyway, picking from an emergency list is no time to be so cryptic.
The sysadmin is in trouble and he needs to know what each choice is
for clearly. Therefore the help output should be something more like
what one sees with
$ zgrep ^\' $f sysrq.txt.gz
