    Recovering from a System Panic In HP-UX terms, a system panic simply means that the operating system encountered a condition that it did not know how to respond to, so it halted your controller. System panics are rare and not always the result of a catastrophe. They sometimes occur at boot if your system was previously not shut down properly.
