Force Reboot :

echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq

echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger

Force Shutdown:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq

echo o > /proc/sysrq-trigger

Better way of doing the about:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq

echo e > /proc/sysrq-trigger

echo i > /proc/sysrq-trigger

echo s > /proc/sysrq-trigger

echo s > /proc/sysrq-trigger

echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger
