      Not that this has happened recently or anything....

      But who the hell thinks it's a great idea to put the Logout button right next to reboot. It always makes me nervous that I'm going to have a muscle spasm and click the wrong damn thing, rebooting a system by mistake.

      Yes, many system's have the "Are you sure your arm didn't twitch by mistake prompt" but still....

        Who logs in graphically to a server?

        Problem solved.

            Witty and accurate. One of the many reasons why GUIs should not exist on servers - they make accidents far more likely.

              Even when I RDS into a Windows server, I thought the reboot option was typically greyed out? Maybe that was only my TS days?

                Ugh so true. One sneeze and I could take down half our infrastructure.

                  used to be. that's why you always had to reboot from the command prompt.
