The problem is that you have to already have that installed before that kind of oops, and it has to be just that kind of oops, ie not something minor that doesn't need that kind of tool, nor something major that calls for a complete reinstall/restore because on a clear disk you can seek forever. Back in the day when Unix was a complete PITA to install that kind of heroic effort was something sysadmins aspired to, but especially with test instances and virtual machines nowadays it's almost always easier to just roll a fresh one. Granted, if you have root on both it can be too easy to pull a trigger on your workstation or server rather than the test instance you meant to test so it's good to see that those skills haven't died out of the world and are still exercised in 2019. Pro tip from back in the day was to always resist the urge to hit reboot, because a partially-hosed machine that still had a root shell open or such gave you a state you might not be able to boot back to. -- Anthony de Boer --- Post to this mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
