A question though: what command would "bring the system down"?
Well, if you are logged in as root the possibilities are almost endless,
the classic one being:
# rm -rf *
run from the root directory. Strictly speaking, of course, that doesn't
"bring the system down" but there really isn't much that you can do with
the system after running it ...
That's reminds me of an accident happened to a friend who try making some
order on his computer and since he did not know exactly what a file named
unix is doing, he deleted it. The system worked but of course would not
boot again...
