Yeah, I think part of the problem was that it was an accident and not
something planned.  I have had to change the main IP address of a remote
server a couple of times, so I used a script like Gaetano's (though I
measured time in terms of seconds, usually less than ten, not minutes).
But you weren't given the chance :-)

Very lucky indeed.  I did that (or equivalents like rm -fr /lib) at least
two times.


Unrelated: I just noticed that you added the mboxen to lists archives.
Many many thanks for that!
