   Raise your hand if you've ever accidentally rebooted a #Linux or #Unix server by recalling a command from history and hitting enter without looking. Because I just did. Now I'm waiting 5 minutes for the server to come back online. 🤦♀️ Maybe I should just eat my own words and install molly-guard to protect box from accidental reboots https://www.cyberciti.biz/hardware/how-to-protects-linux-and-unix-machines-from-accidental-shutdownsreboots-with-molly-guard/ Ugh!

     @nixCraft Yeah, I run a Plex server at home, and I've done it while users are watching, especially my 5 year old Daughter, I learnt very quickly only recall when everyone's asleep lol!

     At least it was just a reboot, could have been much worse.
