Smart Crash Handling

Hi,

Is there anything you can do to a *nix (SuSE Linux actually) which allows it to *try* to do a reboot if something crashes the system?

I know they have something at work (but I don't work with the servers myself) which makes the server reboot if it crashes/locks (works about 80% of the time). It means you don't have to power off manually and reboot in the event of a system crash - I'm just not sure how it's implemented.

Obviously it wont work for all types of crash.

My server currently seems to be in a state where it's returning Pings at about 120ms and none dropped but I can't SSH, Open web pages, FTP or anything else. It was freezing every so often last night and seems to have completely gone now that I'm not near it Smilie

Thanks for any help offered,

(Sitting here 40 miles from the server I wish this was in place on while I wait, knowing it's gonna be another 6 hours before I get to check what happened to it Smilie)
