I have more than once typed shutdown instead of reboot when working on a remote machine... always fun
Make an alias for Ehen you type shutdown it dies restart and if you want to shutdown make an alias that goes like
Yesireallywanttoshutdown
Networking, we had a remote office in Europe (I'm in the US) and wanted to reset a phone. Phone was on port 10 of the Cisco switch, port 1 went to the firewall (not my design, already in place).
Helping my coworker, I tell her to shut port 10.
Shut port 1, enter.
Ok... office is offline and on another continent...
i have the horrible habit of using shutdown now because of my personal computers. a lot more fun.
Not sure if this will help you, but I always do shutdown and then think about whether I want to do -r or -h. I'm sure it won't help 🙂
