I do agree with John, but some companies (that I don't ever want to work
for, and I could "name names") would regard such honesty as
"career-limiting"...
I've had some organizations and managers who were that way. At my
current one I'm quick to own-up to mistakes for that reason.
On the original topic; it wasn't UNIX, though that was part of my work
in those days. Hurrying and at the end of the work day.
What I meant to type: dir *.log;*
What I actually typed: del *.log;*
My lone wrong-box reboot was when I needed to reboot a test server. I
got the wrong DECTerm, though, and, in a moment of horror as I realized
I had just answered the last prompt, I considered that I did have a
DECTerm open to the production corporate DB server...
Fortunately, my workstation was VMS as well, and it was that which I had
rebooted.
