Dangerous/Hazardous commands in HPUX


 Dangerous/Hazardous commands in HPUX:

1. We have to be very cautious while working on Production/Development servers.

2. If we are not sure about any command then it is always preferable to go and see manual page for that command. 
#man [command]

Below are few Dangerous commands which can harm the server :

1. #rm - remove file; do not use -f option

2. #chown - change owner; careful while executing this command with -r option

3. #chmod - modify permissions of file/Dir; careful while executing this command with -r option

4. #mv - moving files/dirs; do not use -f option

5. #hostname - Display hostname of server; careful while using any option to this command

6. #date - display date of server; "-s, --set=" can change system date/time

7. #last |grep -i reboot - to grep  when the server was rebooted through last command; if we forget to put grep then the server will get reboot. 

so always use single or double quotes with grep

8. #init; Change system runlevels

9.  #ntpdate - set the date and time via NTP

10. #reboot; #shutdown - to reboot server

11. #ifconfig - Bring down/up network interfaces



I'll keep on updating the command list if i found any new dangerous command.


Thanks...
