this week i sudo shutdown now our main service right at the end of the workday because i tought it was a local terminal.
not a bright move.
Oops.
Since you're using sudo, I suggest setting different passwords on production, remote, and personal systems. That way, you'll get a password error before a tired/distracted command executes in the wrong terminal.
i have different passwords but i type them so naturally it didnt even register.
"wrong password."
"oh, i'm on the server, here's the right password:"
"no wait"
