No, we "power cycle the box"...

Also, we don't hit things to make them work. We indulge in "percussive maintenance".

I don't know why I'm saying "we" - I haven't been a sysadmin for half a decade!

As an electrician we cure lots of things by 'power cycling' them, it sounds better than 'I switched it off then back on' where I work now they say 'recycled' instead of power cycle. recycle is a term that I don't like, it makes it sound like you threw it in an appropriate receptacle and fitted a new one. Powe cycle is much better
