This way we can do: `echo _reisub > /proc/sysrq-trigger` Instead of: `for i in r e i s u b; do echo "$i" > /proc/sysrq-trigger; done;` This can be very useful when trying to execute sysrq combo remotely or from userspace. When sending keys in multiple separate writes, userspace can be killed before whole combo is completed. Therefore putting all keys in single write is more robust approach.
