Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Unix Question
I was be: surprised, confused, angry.....
And I would have learned an important lesson about wielding root access = without thought to consequences.
Better to learn that lesson so soon after starting to play with Linux = than after you're responsible for a production system.
And let's remember, ultimately, we're talking about a reboot here!! =
It's not the end of the world. The system isn't coming down in flames. =
The consequences are pretty benign, if you think about it. It's not =
like he said "dd if=3D/dev/null of=3D`grep oracle /etc/fstab|awk '{ =
print $1 }'`".
And, to make sure I'm not labeled an evil anarchist, ATTENTION!! DO NOT =
RUN THE PRECEDING "dd" COMMAND ON YOUR SYSTEM, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!
Worst case, it's a reboot......

No, I don't. A lot of people are using linux with Oracle,=20 and it is their first experience with a unix system.
If you just spent a couple days setting up linux and oracle for the first time, and you followed this advice, just how would you feel about it?
