Resetting a slave from master mcu

[Demon]

you could do in software..... send out to one or all listeners a command to goto a restart routine like.... which "provides a way to execute a MCLR in software"
,
,
,
restarting:
@ RESET

But will that work if the slave is caught in a loop or some such?

I'm aiming for a complete reset with no decision from the slave.
