RE: major blunders

If I may add ...
- Color code your ssh session. I use red FG for all production.
- I altered behavior of 'rm' cmd forcing it to be interactive needing user 
confirmation. Scripts coded to use non-interactive version.
- Use copy/paste as much as you can when composing cmds. Sometimes, I can't 
tell if I typed the correct path or not. But, no worry since I do remember 
pasting it.
- always use absolute paths specially destructive ones. Do not rely on default 
or current directory.
- always log your ssh sessions. Make it default behavior of your ssh client--
