Sys5 killall: Bane of all regular linux administrators that also sometimes administered solaris boxes. Once after blowing up an in production database server during the day, I suffered the unfortunate difficulty of having to explain why running a command "killall" on a critical server that killed everything was an innocent mistake and that I didn't have any reason to expect it to kill everything. It's extremely difficult to not sound like a moron when explaining that you didn't expect "killall" to "kill all".
