     While editing a file in /etc/rc.config.d (HP-UX), I neglected to
quote some stuff.  This prevented the system from coming up multiuser
the next time it was booted.  It was booted by a technician that had
come to replace a faulty SIMM while I was out of the office, and he
didn't know UNIX.  That wasn't nice.

     Pretty much every SysV implementation I've seen could easily be
prevented from starting up (or worse, shutting down cleanly) by an
error in one of the scripts.  SysV most definitely doesn't have an
advantage here (neither system does).
