Either ping has been changed to some kind of script or he's leaving out some bits.

Inspector_666 posted:How the hell do you accidentally append a reboot command to "ping"? He doesn't type anything into the command line, he just has a directory with powershell scripts that he runs as needed. ping_all_servers.ps1 just happens to be right next to please_reboot_everything.ps1, easy mistake anyone could make.

You don't because ping doesn't have that kind of functionality on any OS that I'm familiar with (edit: unless the entire org is still running Windows 95). Maybe it's something they added to, say, the NetBSD version? Helushune fucked around with this message at 19:49 on May 6, 2014 |

It's a common typo, I mean who hasn't put ping host.domain && shutdown /s /t 0 /m \\host.domain into a command prompt by accident. edit:

Well, theoretically the various departments have downtime procedures in the event that poo poo hits the fan, they can continue to treat patients without the EMR system in place. Of course, in practice that usually means they start panicking and call  This is affecting patient care!!

Manslaughter posted:Just read your emails!! Also when this new hire has a problem that can't be solved the expected way they take the traditional route of 'give up or immediately ask for help' instead of 'try to use brain and think of alternate way to solve problem'. My boss actually requires this. Despite the company going on and on about the importance of initiative, every issue, problem, or error must be brought to her. There is to be no research or problem solving, or you're wasting company time. Emails regarding the problem must be 3 sentences or less. She will then tell you what you are to do (if she has you do it at all). Sometime within the next 5 business days. Even if you literally cannot do anything else until the problem is resolved. Of course, I learned this the hard way, as the first time I ran into an issue, I advised her along with giving a potential solution. Her reaction was basically a verbal

so... one of the owners asked me to stay after for a couple of minutes so he could do my wage review, he had one guy he was talking to and wanted to get me done as I was the last. The couple of minutes turned into much longer. So I hung around the office till he finished with the first guy, and he snuck out the back door without a word. Im going home and having some scotch

Man, I haven't even STARTED to share my stories from my phone tech support days. The job where, for 6 months, my supervisor changed every week because it was easier to hand me off to someone else than to get around to doing my performance review paperwork. At least they fessed up and gave me back-pay equal to my raise increase for that 6 months, but god loving drat was that lovely.

Manslaughter posted:We have a new hire that reads but doesn't comprehend emails. In one eye and out the other. I have a feeling this accurately describes half my coworkers who will sometimes even miss the most obvious stuff in front of them. They'd rather call me to tell them to read their screen than to actually try it themselves at first. Along with that, they'll ignore e-mails explaining stuff or new procedures. Hell, one of them admits to just deleting everything that's not from a specific subset of people, even if it's important procedure changes.

I want to see the video of him punching a hole through his tower  This morning I went to visit a potential client and discovered that their "network server" was an ESXi box hosting a single Windows XP machine with no backups, space for snapshots, or any sort of recovery ability. Why their old tech thought putting a virtualization layer between the XP machine and the hardware is beyond me, and was apparently beyond their last technician, who couldn't figure out why there was "Linux stuff" on the box and refused to touch it. Why yes this medical facility is 90% Windows XP and Office 2003 with no passwords, why do you ask?

Yeah I wasn't going to pull the video. as much as the entire IT team wants to, we can't as our security measures would be detailed by looking at the footage. It was all slightly out of frame, all we could see was the guy smashing stuff and then putting it on the floor and chair-bombing it.
