I don't think there is an emergency knob as you would like to have.
Unix like systems pride themselves with being extremely predictable.
Predictable to the point where doing something wrong will destroy
your system. I know how that feels, having destroyed my linux system
a couple of times as well. But I can tell you, that over time, you 
will learn and understand how the system ticks and what are wise moves
and what aren't.

I must not become metastable. 
Metastability is the mind-killer.
Metastability is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my metastability. 
I will permit it to pass over me and through me. 
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. 
Where the metastability has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
