About 25 years ago I was trying to just stop a http server but instead issued ENDTCPSVR (ommitting which type of tcp server), everyone in my department lost their connection and the sysadmin walked over to my desk saying this is why devs should not have any admin access.

I did a walk of shame around each desk apologizing profusely.

I always feel bad not giving it two minutes just in case! `pwrdwnsys delay(120)` for good luck. ha
