But if you see this message, there is a serious problem! Rebooting isn't
likely to help as the same message will appear again.

Unfortunately I don't know of a clever script that will enter the root
password and so system maintenance for you automatically! But after an
unclean shutdown you shouldn't normally see this message anyway.
