== Automatically reboot on kernel panic ==

Linux can automatically reboot after a kernel panic. The sysctl /proc/sys/kernel/panic controls this; 0 (default) disables the behavior, while any value greater than zero is the number of seconds to wait before reboot. This can be made persistent by setting in /etc/sysctl.conf:

{{{
kernel.panic = 5
}}}

Linux will wait 5 seconds before automatically rebooting.
