I would also add to check your location in the directory tree before
doing anything like an rm -fr *

Some of the stupid things I have done in years gone by, only once I
might add!
Don't manually NID a 9i DB while it's open and running.
Always fuser a DB file, before you rm it.
Always check the full session info of that process you are about to
"kill session".
Check the SID on that DB before you issue shutdown command. ( Once
killed a 700 user prod DB once and on monthly reporting day just make
sure the effect was complete! )
Check the server hostname before you issue "rm -rf *"
An ex-colleague once rm -rf the test DB at 2am, well he thought is was
test...
It was closely followed by lots of frantic calls and a final trip to HR.

Compiling a list of major blunders to avoid:
Don't use the number 8 for scripting or ORACLE_SID due to the wild card
character * above it.
Don't use rm *.*
....
Anyone else have some to contribute?
thanks
