I usually add this to my .bashrc file to all my work machines.

alias reboot='echo "Wrong window idiot!"'
alias halt='echo "Wrong window idiot!"'
alias shutdown='echo "Wrong window idiot!"'

But I just learned, that I never added it to my Google workstation 😛

@kernellogger no, it just assumes if you log in via the X windows console, and your session has the right to reboot the machine, so does your xterm windows.

I ssh into my dev boards as root and reboot via that session. The issue is when I think I'm ssh'd in and go to reboot, I don't always notice the prompt is different and I can type `reboot <enter>` dangerously fast.

@1ace I only reboot this machine via drop down menus which doesn't care about my `.bashrc` files.
