Cause \fImachine\fR to leave the debugger and continue normal
processing. \fIMachine\fR must currently be in the debugger.
.IP "\fB\-d\fR" 15
Cause \fImachine\fR to suspend normal processing and enter the
debugger.
.IP "\fB\-r\fR" 15
Cause \fImachine\fR to reboot, using the default boot source.
\fIMachine\fR must currently be in the debugger.
.IP "\fB\-R\fI string\fR" 15
Cause \fImachine\fR to reboot, using \fIstring\fR as the boot
source. \fIMachine\fR must currently be in the debugger.
.IP "\fB\-s\fI string\fR" 15
Print out the version string of the kernel being run by \fImachine\fR.
Exit with a 0 status if the version string matches \fIstring\fR,
and exit with a non-zero status if it doesn't match.

.SH INTRODUCTION
.PP
The \fBkmsg\fR command is used to assist in debugging and rebooting
remote Sprite kernels. \fIMachine\fR is the name of a machine
running Sprite, and \fIoption\fR specifies what sort of operation
to perform on that machine. \fBKmsg\fR will open a special network
port to the specified kernel and send it messages to carry out the
specified operation.
.SH BUGS
The type (or at least byte-order?) of the target machine must match
that of the machine that
.B kmsg
is run on.
.SH KEYWORDS
debug, kernel, reboot, version
