And how long did it take before someone ran one of the scripts in DO_NOT_USE?

Implemented Storage Based Mirroring using Hitachi ShadowImage.
Vendors wrote the scripts which did both a. Clone from Prodn to Dev b. Clone
from Dev to Prodn (WHY ??) Weekly clone from Prodn to Dev being done.
One day, the SysAdmin (pseudo-Oracle-DBA) runs script b. instead of script a.
MUCH SWEARING by me.
Fortunately, Prodn wasn't LIVE yet, it was still proto-Live.
I took the root password, renamed the scripts, moved them to a "DO_NOT_USE"
folder
and sent an email to all to NOT USE the scripts.
