I know a site where the DBA has determined that the new UNIX administrator has never seen a UNIX system before in their life. But management hired them and now the DBA performs almost all the UNIX administration functions in order to protect the system from the administrator. I also know a site where the developers for an outside contractor were given the root password, and the developers are pretty much Windows people who know next to nothing about working on UNIX. Jared, has a very valid point: no one should post invalid or dangerous material without proper identification and warnings. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of jtesta@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, June 28, 2004 7:41 AM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Unix Question Jared, dont you think that someone who HAS root would know what that does? joe > Mladen, > > Please stop sending posts like this. > > You may be joking, but it would be very easy > for a neophyte to take this seriously. > > Jared > > On Thu, 2004-06-24 at 20:45, Mladen Gogala wrote: >> On 06/24/2004 11:12:46 PM, zhu chao wrote: >> > depending on the os, you can try killall in linux. >> ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
