Why does Task Manager ask me if I want to end a task?
If I hadn't wanted to end the task, I wouldn't have opened Task Manager
in the first place, and I wouldn't have clicked on the End Task button.
Yesterday a DBA asked me if there was any way to recover a file that he
did "rm" on a linux system.
Strictly, there _is_ a way; it involves hex editors and inodes and
it has to be really, really worth it, but there is a way.
and it only works if you quickly stop everything from writing which is
never the case on a volitile database.
alias rm="rm -i"
Which is the usual linux distro default, and which I turn off because it
makes me mightily annoyed. It might be the case that your DBA ought not
to be able to turn it off.
Generally, though, if it's important, it belongs in version control.
Yeah yeah yeah, but like you say it's annoying and was only the
"default" in the last few years. anyway most of my guys use rm -f to
avoid the annoying question.
