@propensive I have made this mistake before.
The commands for shutting down a laptop and an uptime-critical server should not both be 'sudo halt'.

@DRMacIver Yes. It's too easy. This was a cloud VM so restarting was easy. Once it was a physical box, and fixing it meant driving 60 miles.

In other news, sorry about the 2-3 minutes' downtime on https://scala.world/ last night, in case that affected anyone.

@propensive Did you run it in the wrong terminal? :-s - Show replies

@propensive that rather makes it sound like you're using the same password on a laptop and an uptime critical server. -
@NicolasRinaudo Don't you use the same password for everything?! (sudo was already verified, as it turned out) ;)

@propensive You realize modern DEs have a button for shutdown, right? :-) -
@larsr_h What are DEs? Do you mean Germans? - Show replies

@propensive 'sudo halt with caution' sounds good? Seriously, you can rename halt for example.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@propensive You can easily resolve the "namespace issue" with a colourful prompt. Makes me think every time I'm about to do something stupid -
@SzymonBilinski Yes, I actually already do that, but I was going a bit too fast. The different color showed me I'd screwed up immediately!
