Crashing HP-UX on purpose

[Ken Englander]

Can anyone tell me an easy way to force a system running HP-UX 11i v3 to crash? This is a vPar running on an rx8640 if that matters.

Thanks!

Shalom,

To crash the hardware, hit the TOC button on the back.

To crash a vpar, there is a command.

vparboot is what I'd try.

Hi,
To crash toc a vpar, do a vparreset -t
look at the man page
