Hmmmm..... Funny, last I checked, you could turn off in Mid-Boot process, Pull the plug in Mid-Shutdown process, or yank the power to the UPS (and no battery left) with all NT Machines running (NT3.51 - W2K), and the system would never miss a beat in start-up file system recovery.
Now do that to NT servers with Oracle or some SQL-type application server running on it, and it may have data corruption- but that's only with the DB's ... and that happens, no matter WHAT the platform. Now, then again, try doing the above such listed tasks of brutality to a Sun Box, an SCO box, or an AT&T Unix box, and watch the games begin as "Inodes" fly everywhere and the file system checker starts griping about how unhappy it is.... and I wouldn't be surprised if an AIX or SGI box did the same. DB Server or not. Sorry... just gotta love those MickeySoft stabs that have no meaning other than for slander. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 21, 2002 12:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Stupid Question [7:32591] Just turn them off or simply unplug them.
