That's my preferred method of dealing with lockups. Of course, you then
need to know which switches to throw once you're on the bad box but
Google can usually help me find the solution.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
I was rather hoping there might be some way of getting Jack itself to abort
under these conditions.
I do use an RT kernel on the main machines, and normal input is completely
unresponsive, so trying to get to a terminal or start another session with the
three finger salute is impossible.
I think there are some emergency SysReq key combinations. No idea
whether they need some special enabling. They bypass user space and
might be worth a try for getting a somewhat more regular shutdown.
