Comment: I shut down the big production server :-( (Score 1) 508

In an earlier job I was doing sys support for unix.

I was trying to shutdown a terminal machine so I could move it but inadvertanty typed the shutdown command into a window I had open on the main production server. I was assured that everyone does that at least once :-)

One of the managers was particulally dark at me coz they lost 3 hours of editing on a document. My response was "Don't you save it every ten minutes?" (as people who use Word do)

Their fault really for employing a windows programmer to to unix sys support. :-)
