KB: Rebooting a Linux Server After a Kernel Panic

Author: Michael Sheehan   Views: 564 General, Technical Documentation No Comments »

From the ServePath Knowledge Base:

By default, a Linux server doesn’t reboot after a kernel panic but waits for a user to manually reboot the server. To check this behavior, check /proc/sys/kernel/panic.

This represents the amount of time (in seconds) the kernel will wait before rebooting if it reaches a “kernel panic.” A setting of zero (0) seconds will disable rebooting on kernel panic. If the value is set to 1, the server will display the error message that a kernel panic occurred and will do nothing.
