Interesting discussion, which evokes the following two true storiesT.
Story 1: Many years ago, a friend walked into his data center and noticed a message on the system console: <backupproductname> will expire in 15 days! He pointed to it and asked the operator something probably starting with "WTF"; operator's answer: "Oh, it always says that." "Um, no, just for the last 15 days." - and said operator was never heard from again. Story 2: .although it's possible that he wound up at another site, where after a forklift upgrade, they restarted VM/SP HPO and all the PROFS mail was gone (yeah, this was a while ago too). Sysprog looks at console, sees that they did a COLD start. He asks WTF; operator says "Well, the system had been down for two days, so I figured it had to be cold by now!" I'm quite sure THAT operator is cold by now. I bet this august group has some stories to add. And no, I don't have anything against operators! .phsiii (not Friday, but still) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
