On Hacker news, I recently came across this quote from Dennis Chao on the pitfalls of using Doom as a system administration tool:

[One] of the problems of using Doom as a tool for system administration: Certain processes are vital to the computer’s operation and should not be killed. For example, after I took the screenshot of myself being attacked by csh, csh was shot by friendly fire from behind, possibly by tcsh or xv, and my session was abruptly terminated.

Attacked by csh and killed by friendly fire from tcsh? What’s not to like?
