I see Growler imploding over that one.

And for the rest of us, please translate:

Quote
On a Unix box, try rm *.* -r.
Recursively deletes from the bottom of the file structure back uo to the top, until the disk is empty. Box will keep on running until reboot time when you fins you have no OS, just a dead box.

Just try it in ENGLISH!

Another edit done.
What don't you understand? It's not proper techno-babble.

Recursively deletes from the bottom of the file structure back uo to the top, until the disk is empty. Box will keep on running until reboot time when you find you have no OS, just a dead box.
This is only recommended if you either own the box, or you seriously dislike a person/employeer. eveilgrin:

Think big why don't you  eeek:

Making this information available to Nick (or worse - The Boy) is on a scale, equivalent to detonating a 100 megaton Nuclear bomb!

This shadow just passed across my monitor screen...........  tunble:     scared2:




Switch everything electrical off, take a Thermos and packed lunch and hide under the stairs for either:

a)    The end of the world. 

       or

b)    Nick forgets about this thread.   (preferred option)

You are working on the Basis that Nick will ever be allowed anywhere near a machine running Unix Bouncer.

I think you can rest easy on that score.  point:

In the words of one of our IT department 'Unix is an operating system written by geeks for geeks'

You've got it! When you make a misteak the screen starts to bounce, so be careful!

I?m very impressed with all this IT stuff in here!  ;D

Windows users should actually scandisk then do a disk cleanup before defragging ? I?ll tell you all about it when I am back on-line properly? I have a 20K connection today?  evil:
