18:04 < Gucky> ha ha dave just went full panda :)
18:10 < tyrion> ndonegan: sorry
18:10 < gormanm> how?
18:11 < tyrion> gormanm: this was cron'd to run every minute:
18:11 < tyrion> #!/bin/bash
18:11 < tyrion> cd /usr/local/pem/vhosts/134216/webspace/httpdocs/old/
18:11 < tyrion> grep -r "allsportsagency" /usr/local/pem/vhosts/134216/webspace/httpdocs/* > file.txt
18:11 < tyrion> after 30 seconds the file grew to 21Gb
18:12 < gormanm> :/
18:12 < tyrion> I rang blacknight support. Got through to Nick, he tried to log into that box as root, which failed
18:12 < ndonegan> Heard Nick say "Oh GOD that's massive!" as I walked past. You mightn't have heard the "That's what she
                  said" in the background.
18:12 < tyrion> ndonegan: :)
18:12 < tyrion> gormanm: this day is just getting better
18:12 < gormanm> you should have stayed in bed
18:13 < Gucky> he he the funny thing was he was cursing another collegue at work for having so many hard coded references :)
18:13 < Gucky> never considering that the file had grown waaaaaaaaay beyond the size of the code base :D
18:14 < ndonegan> tyrion: I managed to fill a 24TB SAN doing something similar before :)
18:15 < ndonegan> Although at least that was kinda intended.
18:15 < tyrion> way to make me feel insignificant
18:16 < ndonegan> tyrion: but you are! Just one amoung tens of thousands for me!!
