Sysadmin shut down server, it went ‘Clunk!’ but the app kept running

Tried to log in to a virtual machine to shut it down. Didn't quite catch the fact that the login failed, one "sudo shutdown -h now" later and my workstation with everything I was working on went black.

Even molly-guard doesn't help when you're local. Fortunately it was just an annoyance rather than an actual problem. Obviously the VM was set to auto boot so I had to shut it down after the reboot.
