Absolutely can and will take action. Doesn't always kill the right process (sometimes it kills big database engines for the crime of existing), but usually gives me enough headroom to SSH back in and fix it myself.
I have limited experience with Linux, but why is it that when my system locks up, SSH still tends to work and let me fix things remotely? Like, if the system isn't locked up, let me fix it right here and now and give me back control, if it is locked up, how is SSH working to help me?
