So I was SSH’d into one of our servers and decided that one of the directories needed to be deleted. Little did I realize that the directory contained symbolic links (either that or the whole directory was a sym link) and so when I ran my little ‘rm -rf’ a lot of stuff, rather a TON of stuff was gone.

So, I have spent a lot of time getting stuff back together and making things work. It has not been easy or fun. In fact it has been a rather big PITA.

So, lesson of the day. Check twice before doing a rm -rf.
