I heavily vote against this! On the programming side, this will lead to ugly code. But even worse: on the usage side this will lead to unpredictable behaviour and untraceable errors. This is a horror for every system administrator.
Regarding "getting the system running again fast": Clear error messages are the best way for this. Because one sees what went wrong. If the system makes assumptions, this may lead to wrong interpretation, inherited errors, more interpretation and chaos. This may destruct (monitoring) data and lead to wrong alerts. A small leak will sink a great ship. -- Schönen Gruß - Regards Hartmut Goebel Dipl.-Informatiker (univ.), CISSP, CSSLP Goebel Consult Spezialist für IT-Sicherheit in komplexen Umgebungen http://www.goebel-consult.de Monatliche Kolumne: http://www.cissp-gefluester.de/ Goebel Consult mit Mitglied bei http://www.7-it.de
