Question: How can I get my Linux server rebooted/restarted automatically if it caught a kernel panic?
Answer: As you might know, kernel panic is an action taken by an operating system upon detecting an internal fatal error from which it cannot safely recover; the term is largely specific to Unix and Unix-like systems (it’s a wiki’s description).

1. Open sysctl’s configuration file:
2. Add there the following line:
