sleep 5m; killall fgfs; sleep 1m; killall -9 fgfs; sleep 1m; halt should be executing on a root text console before you start the simulator. I usually find that one of the two killall's will recover the machine. A network login, of course, can do the same thing. However, you generally need to have your filesystem writeable for net services.
