She was talking to the person on the phone. One time there was a database issue she was debugging. My mom fixes databases and other problems. I think my favourite story is something that your (Jose’s) story reminds me of. That’s a pretty funny story (and thing to call you sure it’s at your expense but it’s not really that mean, and its more clever). Sounds like my mom’s office (telecommunication). Nor could I copy it (cp uses /usr/lib).Īn “Ohnosecond” is defined as the period of time between when you hit enter and you realize what you just did. Did you know the “mv” command uses libraries in /usr/lib? I found that out the hard way when I discovered I could not move it back to its original pathname. Lastly, I once had an accidental copy & paste, which renamed (mv) /usr/lib. As soon as my head hit the pillow, the phone rang. It was still in / – removing any files older than 3 days old! I restored the filesystems and went home to get some sleep, thinking I would investigate root cause after I had some rest. The cd into the log file directory didn’t work, but the cron job kept going. About a year later, someone removed the directory. It was to clean up the log files of some program they had. The server had a cron job that ran, as root, that cd’ed into a directory and did a find, removing any files older than 3 days. This, of course, includes “.” – recursively. I once had a bunch of dot files I wanted to remove. Mistakes are the inevitable, so have you made any mistakes that have caused some sort of downtime? Please add them into the comments section below. This also applies to day today jobs such as creating the users and more.

But, I failed to update my Postfix RBL settings. The end result – a few visitors went to /dev/null:Įcho 'foo 86400 IN CNAME ' > & rndc reload Failed To Update Postfix RBL Configuration I wanted to shutdown my local Fedora desktop system, but I issued halt on remote server (I was logged into remote box via SSH):Ĭreated a wrong DNS CNAME entry in zone file. (now I use firewall reset script to avoid lockdowns). I had to call remote data center tech to reset firewall settings. After a quick kernel upgrade, I had rebooted the box. I made changes to sshd_config and changed the ssh port number from 22 to 1022, but failed to update firewall rules. I wanted to shutdown VPN interface eth0, but ended up shutting down eth1 while I was logged in via SSH: Hostname Public Network Interface Shutdown Within minutes I received an alert message on both mobile and email. Accidentally Changed Hostname and Triggered False AlarmĪccidentally changed the current hostname (I wanted to see current hostname settings) for one of our cluster node. I had sym links for my web server docroot (/home/httpd/http was symlinked to /To save disk space, I ran rm -rf on http directory.
