   Who among us has not rebooted the wrong Unix/Linux server or enterprise-grade network equipment?

     @nixCraft been there, done that. The server in question got stuck in a reboot loop. When I contacted the hosting provider they wipes the thing.

     @nixCraft You say rebooting the wrong machine like it's a bad thing.

     @nixCraft not sure that I've ever rebooted the wrong thing but does shutting down the wrong port on network equipment count?
