I think the valid question here is #3 - Why would you do that? I don't
know about everyone else on this forum, but I have too much to do to try
and get an operator fired in this way. And if you ever got caught doing
this, would you really want to lose your own job?
This has been an interesting thread. It seems we all really ENJOY
auditors... Can someone say prostate exam?

If I wanted to get an operator fired, I'd have to come up with far
better cause than questionable use of system commands.
In the city of Chicago, there are a number of shops where the operators
are unionized, either Teamsters or Internation Brotherhood of Postal
Workers. Supposedly, this is for the protection of the operators, so
they can't be arbitrarily fired. HORSEFEATHERS! It's just because the
union wants to collect dues money! In one shop, the unionized operators
took some serious hits: they lost a week of vacation time and instead of
100% Major Medical/Hospitalization coverage, their coverage dropped to
80%. And the staff was small enough that dues were paid by payroll
deduction.
Dumb move, folks. You didn't do your homework!
Any operator (or any other employee) that acts in a malicious fashion
deserves to be fired.
An incompetent operator (or any other employee) should be trained; if
training oppurtunities are refused, let him/her go and "explore other
challenges".
