SSH down, no remote console. Do I really need to reset?

    If you require access to it and there's no other way of accessing it, yes.

    well, that is the question isn't it. Is there no other way to restart SSH?

    Physical access? Else I doubt it.

    Way better. Just got ssh restarted via remote without SSH. A cool Jabber bot would be: Jabber2Bash

    That's what the console via serial cable is for. (Some hosting center's will provide serial access via their own ssh management console)

    yeah, a serial console was too expensive for our new DC :) But I got it restarted anyway :)

    What was running that you could restart SSH without using SSH?

    well, if I would tell, that would be a big security hole, as the software isn't that secure

    heh, the list of possibilities isn't very long: telnet, rsh....
