RE: Cool way to crash an Oracle database, any time, any place

Whats wrong with those commands??? If you read the trade magazines and all the ads Oracle owns everything and is trying to read, write, and execute everything... ROR mª¿ªm

>>> kirti.deshpande_at_verizon.com 05/09/01 04:16PM >>> We had one DBA who did chown -R oracle * followed by chmod -R u+x,g+x * while at / as root !!
That pissed of everyone not just the SAs. It took several days (almost a rebuilt of the server) to recover. Who to blame? The supid prompt for not having a # and id when su-ed to root.
