Error Kill from keyboard
I have a cron job that creates my backup tape. However my commands in this job are timing out, therefore "Retrying job retry" is the loop it is hung into. I cannot telnet to the box nor get a login prompt. What is the kill command keystone stroke sequence that will break a cron job?

Thanks,

I can't get to a prompt to issue the kill command. Looking for something like alt + brk. My options are starting to look at pulling the plug for a reboot to get to a prompt.
