The fastest (and most unsafe) way to reboot your computer is
to press these these combinations, one after one.
Alt+SysRQ+s - Sync data to disks for all mounted disks immediately.
Alt+SysRQ+u - Remount all filesystems as readonly.
Alt+SysRQ+b - Reboot immediately.
There're a lot of kernel functions availible, depending upon your kernel version.
You can find them in kernelsource/Documentation/sysrq.txt file.
You can enable all of kernel functions by,
echo 1 >/proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
Pressing Alt+SysRQ+h should tell you about various sysRQ functions availible (in dmesg output). For example, on my system (Feisty Fawn), they are
SysRq : HELP : loglevel0-8 reBoot Crashdump tErm Full kIll saK showMem Nice powerOff showPc unRaw Sync showTasks Unmount shoW-blocked-tasks
The saK (secure access key) can be used to allow secure login. The output of kernel functions, if any, goes to /var/log/messages (or dmesg).

WTF I tried the first one and my system rebooted. I'm not gonna try more of these. hey guys read the labels before trying any of these......
And Kazim I'm not your Guniepig for these kind of experiments...
Now would you please explain all of these....
By the way it was really funny..Does it work only on windows or also on windhus?
s/windows/GNU\/Linux
Works only on Linux. They are Linux Kernel functions.
Alt+SysRQ+S - Sync all mounted filesystems. Data in buffer is immediately written to disks
Alt+SysRQ+U - Unmount and remount all filesystems readonly
Alt+SysRQ+B - reboot immediately.
Don't try the last one alone. It may result in filesystem corruption!
This sequence of keys (S U and B) is the fastest (and most unsafe, too) way to reboot your computer.
You see, Linux is fun for me (not for the readers of my blog, maybe)
I think i tried the last one alone..It just reboot..Thank god no File system corruption :-).
ohh!! plzzzzzz dont try thiss...i tried this peice of sh*t and unfortunately tried the last one alone...my system rebooted and was ............guys my system was about to crash....
newayz everything is under control now( xcept kazim, and v really hv to think about it )
does not work
bakwaas
Ab bolo...
Linux is 4 u......
Din worked on mine
Here is log and sys properties after doing this...

Bolo bolo....
These Alt+SysRQ+... are kernel functions. To know more about them read the kernel documentation sysrq.txt.
Permission denied is surprising! Someone may explain that...
Your distribution (I guess Debian) must've disabled or masked these functions. These are used by kernel developers when coding. There are functions that will print the CPU register contents, task list, core dumping, killing everything except init and so on...
Explore to find out how to enable them for yourself!
Hey i tried following it's really cool..
Alt+SysRq+p #to see the contents of CPU register following is the output of the dmesg...
