Yeah, early '90s I got a school computer lab to run as a render farm overnight. Had a script that would lock the systems from 11PM - 5AM (building was closed/empty 10PM - 6 AM). Everything worked fine until a power blip shut down the systems. On reboot, they were all locked and my script wasn't running to unlock them.

Luckily, my gf at the time was working as lab assistant, checked on lab before first class and called me (just for technical help). She was pissed when I explained that I had caused the issue but we were able to get everything reset in time for class.

Still, the Comp Graphics prof suggested I look for a career in IT instead of fine arts. Took his advice; the future was so bright I had to wear shades.
