  1. I have manually stopped all my important services like LDAP, PostgreSQL and MySQL. And I did run: 

    reboot -f

    The -f force parameter to ignore the init system. After the reboot I was able to make a simple reboot without force mode.

    Another solution could be more agressive but useful to know, send a magic sysreq remotely with: 

    echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger

    See more information about Magic SysReq on Wikipedia.
