Bullshit.

How about running a NET START in a CMD console on Windows and forgetting to enable it in Service Manager's config to autostart it next boot time around?

How about using NET USE to do a critical mapping that's required for a home rolled server? And forgetting to make it persistant?

How about manually modifying your router table?

The so-called problem you mentioned witn HP-UX has sweet nothing to do with HP or Unix or the operating system.

It has everything to do with SHITTY ADMINISTRATORS. And there are loads of them around.
