So nobody is phyisically near your voyage-alix-system? If there is
you could ask that person to power off/on the system (if rebooting is
an option).

As long you haven't already synced the disk (with a clean reboot)
chances are good "/var/run" gets cleared after power off/on.

Everything else is considered "cracking" your system and might be
difficult.
