But remember the 'Foghorn Leghorn' ("Fortunately I keep my feathers numbered for just such an Emergency!") command: RMVTCPTBL *ALL.. This is entered on the console when you activate a packet rule that disconnects all your iNav functions so that you can't fix them! The command doesn't delete them simply de-activates them so you can get back in and fix them. Don't ask how I know this command. :-)

Heh, I have no need to ask how you know; I have my own reason for thinking that I know how. But I love the name of the rule.

I often go so far as to schedule the command to run maybe 3-5 minutes in the future. I've sometimes set the delay via a job scheduler entry and sometimes through a simple SBMJOB -- if I can't get back quickly enough to prevent it from running, I save myself from having to get back quickly enough.
