Re: AS/400 Administration Commands

Take care with PWRDWNSYS. The confirmation screen was created on V6R1.
V5R4 and older, you do not have any confirmation screen (I know what I'm
talking about... if you understand what I mean :-)

James,

Although I agree that is really easy to make a mess with an OS like Unix,
I'm not sure if I would be so "cavalier" in my attitude respect OS/400s
commands. Just think, for instance, how easy is to write CLRPFM or even
PWRDWNSYS (we had a junior admin do that to us to our production iSeries
(520) some years ago).

Yes, but CLRPFM is something that anybody with the appropriate
authorities to a given file can do (and will only do it if it can get an
exclusive lock on the file), and PWRDWNSYS, as I recall, asks for
confirmation.
