    I have more than once typed shutdown instead of reboot when working on a remote machine… always fun

      Make an alias for when you type shutdown it does restart and if you want to shutdown make an alias that goes like

      Networking, we had a remote office in Europe (I’m in the US) and wanted to reset a phone. Phone was on port 10 of the Cisco switch, port 1 went to the firewall (not my design, already in place).

      Helping my coworker, I tell her to shut port 10.

      Shut port 1, enter.

      Ok… office is offline and on another continent…

      Not sure if this will help you, but I always do shutdown and then think about whether I want to do -r or -h. I’m sure it won’t help 🙂
