Secondly, welcome to Administration. We have all done similar things. <BR/><BR/>I remember the day that I discovered that exit will take down a Domino server. I was trying to ping another server in the domain with a DOS window. Well I decided to exit the dos window by entering Exit at the DOS command and executing the enter key. For some bizzare reason the DOS window didn't disappear. <BR/><BR/>I then looked at the Domino Console and saw everything shutting down. Then the Managers flooded the server room. <BR/><BR/>I was quite lucky in that our server console would suddenly just disappear. No RIP file, no log entry, nothing to indicate why. Well I used this to my advantage... The Managers asked "What happened?"<BR/><BR/>I replied, "The damn thing just crashed again!" (Note to self: Don't use Exit on the Domino Console any more)Perry Hiltzhttp://www.dominodiversions.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637858919469198392.post-14603082573028942372008-10-03T08:11:00.000-05:002008-10-03T08:11:00.000-05:00We all appreciate your courage to share this experience. Rest assured that ALL of us have done similar. I'm sure I have on more than one occasion, but my selective memory prevents me from recalling it. I'm sure I've remembered the lesson, I just don't remember the mistake.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully you will inspire others to be equally open with their experiences.Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02644766654103113738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3637858919469198392.post-82387715018401912992008-10-02T18:33:00.000-05:002008-10-02T18:33:00.000-05:00If you're not screwing things up now and then, you're not trying new things often enough.<BR/><BR/>In 1987 I decided to save space on my 16 megabyte external hard drive (a device the size of a shoe box) on the Leading Edge IBM XT clone I was using.<BR/><BR/>I used pkarc (Phil Katz's replacement for arca who eventually sued him for the use of the .arc extension, which lead to PKZIP) to archive directories recursively. <BR/><BR/>I included my util directory which of course contained pkxarc -- the unpacker. I had to drive to a friend's house to get a floppy with pkxarc on it.<BR/><BR/>Doh!Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17022746301252202539noreply@blogger.com
