I once went to shutdown our staging realm to do some task. ~/realm_control_production$ ./realmctl.py stop --no-warn Oh shit, that is production, not staging. I got the surge of adrenaline and hit Ctrl+C within a couple of seconds. Thankfully it only completed the very first part of the process that prevents new users from logging in and puts up the maintenance page. No playing users were kicked off the game servers. All I had to do was run ./realmctl.py allow to get new logins to start working again. This is what taught us that we need to have an extra confirmation for actions on the production realm.

So, it's now like this? ~/realm_control_production$ ./realmctl.py stop --no-warn --no-really --i-know-its-production

That is why my production terminal windows are red background with yellow text, because I sometimes "space out" the prompt.

  This is good advice. I have always followed that through by insisting $PS1 has a bright red banner that says "PRODUCTION".

    I like that one, I will have to try that out. A damn shame you cannot add animation to the prompt.
