<PotalaLama> Man, trying to be a sysadmin does suck...
<PotalaLama> I was fixing a network issue on a remote server (sitting in a server farm over 1,000 miles away) with my local Fedora box
<PotalaLama> ..after which I wanted to restart networking
<PotalaLama> Instead of the usual /etc/init.d/network restart, in a playful mood
<PotalaLama> I thought I will stop and then start, so I typed /etc/init.d/network stop...and boom...the server goes offline, and no way to reboot..
<PotalaLama> Got my ass fried for that...
