Due to a weird problem, i lost all ability to go root. No login, no su, no network connnectivity, nothing but physical reboot and going single-user will help. I'm logged as a normal user, and since i'm not root i can't "shutdown" or "halt" or "sync" anything. The thing is i want to minimize the damage of hardware reboot. Is there anything i can do as normal user to flush memory buffers, close important files etc? The system in mention is 4.1 relase with generic kernel. And just for interest, where would linux compare in this field? Thanks in Advance, Yonatan.
