Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.

well. not physically, right.
but mentally, ok.

and since it is a remote box, the first thing that
should come up is the sshd.
if you configured ssh to come up last,
well, you have some homework to do :)
(and, there are serial consoles, and remote access processors, too.)

so, yes, you are able to ssh in after they reboot,
and fix it, if there is something to fix.
