Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Favourite Urban Myth
Well let me be the first to show a little humility and admit to my own
mistake. I wanted to write a command that would kill all of the processes
that I owned. I called the script killall (I think that was it), well guess
what, killall already exists! I couldn't figure out how my script which
during testing was merely suppose to list the process id's went ahead and
killed them!

Well Kirti, if you're going to morph this thread into stupid DBA tricks...
We had one young fellow working for us that was new to unix. He had just discovered that he could run a job in the background via '&' at about the same time he was assigned the task of recompiling all of the files for an entire application.
You can probably guess the rest. ;)
About the time he started bragging about how "quickly" he was able to recompile all of the code, we were all headed to the server room to find out why our dev server was suddenly so slow...
