Although, to be fair, that would have involved questions pertaining to the best way to carry a stack of System/36 reel-to-reel tapes from the data center to the backup location - should I stack more above the elbow, or below, and is the loss risk of carrying a whole batch at once worth it? That sort of thing... At the start of my career, I was taught to research. And, when necessary, to seek help, by presenting a documented case indicating what the issue was, what had been attempted, what had been eliminated or what was suspected, and to indicate the specific areas that I needed detailed help in. Not, for instance, this bunch of garbage.

Why not go the whole hog and run your email and internet browsing on a server too? If you were using a thin client or a drastically underpowered PC, then this would make sense, but not if you have a decent workstation. I agree that running lots of consoles creates a headache due to startup time and occasionally on a resource basis, so what we try to do is integrate as much stuff as possible into OpsManager, so we don't need to stare at a load of consoles. Then I can only open consoles as I need to work on them. But if your PC can't handle running seven or eight applications including a few management consoles, or if you worry because your machine uses lots of its memory (even though it is there to be used), then you have a few issues that need to be resolved.

This approach will likely be complicated by the state of the server (e.g. workstation locked). Process killing is rarely fraught with peril...
