Pro* tip: don't put your mSQL database file on /tmp on a Solaris box.

Because at some point a few months later people will say "where did the database go?" and you'll have a lot of explaining and reconstruction to do.

I think this one was in the "Unix admin horror stories"


Like those users who start with Linux, and later move to Solaris only to learn "killall" does something different there..

In my defense I only did it the once.


Wish I'd read that before I did it then.
