logon to the gsp with Ctrl-b

and use the rs command to reset your server.

man killall
killall - kill all active processes

Hi there

As you have experienced, killall is a dangerous command. If you can't log in at the console (no login prompt) try powering the console off and on a few times. If you are lucky, the system may respawn a getty process for the console and let you log in again.

Either that or follow the previous suggestion of using rs on the GSP. If's highly likely that this is your only option.
