With VxWorks, you can definitely get yourself into enough trouble that ^X or reboot() won't be enough. A SYSRESET or perhaps even a power cycle is needed. If you just have a terminal shell, you are out of luck. SNS built an option for sending a reset through the timing system to the timing receiver board which issues a SYSRESET on the backplane (although this is almost never used). Some VME crates have their own network interface which can be used to send a reset or power cycle. A network power cycler is another option. If you don't have something like that, and the crate is far away, you best option is careful coding.
