Being primarily used to, and mainly using Linux. Then using the killall command on a Solaris box, which just happened to be running the company's Oracle database... Cue the support line phone ringing off its hook. Cue BOFH Excuse : "Hmm it appears the server running the database has crashed. We're rebooting it now", etc etc. Lesson learned : killall on a Sun/Solaris box behaves VERY differently from the killall on Linux :D
