RE: Brain freeze on command

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's Friday and I can't restrain myself.  A couple of years ago an operator
was getting a screen shot of the PWRDNSYS prompt screen for documentation
and pressed ENTER at 10AM on a weekday.  We now have a command in a library
higher on the library list called "PWRDNSYS" that wraps the original command
in a CL that asks for confirmation of system shut down.

He actually was a pretty conscientious guy.  It was an honest mistake.  The
good part was no one was punished and we got things going again within an
hour.

***WARNING*** the S in select command is too close to the D.  SLTCMD/DLTCMD.
I deleted all the CRT commands once when looking for the command to create
an Ethernet line.  USE CRT* and the system will find all the create
commands.  Works for all prefixes.  I will never use SLTCMD again.
