C'mon SPARCky, it's just an admin utility update. What could possibly go wrong?

YI'm afraid your support contract does not cover this, please provide a PO.

After doing two years of support at a VAR in the '90s and spending many a Friday afternoon on the phone with some hapless department manager that thought they would just clean up the chaff and inadvertently hitting enter when this is on the line root@doomedserver:/#rm -rf * on the production server, I've always been able to manage a pwd before running the poison rm as root. Now, if you want to talk about borking remote networks, that I have stories about... I don't always remember to do a "restart in 5" Luckily, never at a site that required a plane or helicopter ride to.
