Afraid to log off server...

[Rocket-Boy]

Just checked and the accounts we use to log onto the servers are Admin accounts so we don't have to log requests with IT. Thus the risk of shut-downs

You have both very brave and very lazy admins.
I set idle logoff policies on my TS boxes that log off inactive users.

They might be the admins hence the options to shut the server down being available.

Hi all,

Am I the only person who is mildly worried of logging off a remote session after finishing work on a server?
Accidentally turned off a production server when I was an intern many moons ago but haven't gotten over it.

Is it bad form to just close the window and leave the user logged in?

This must be MS Windows. It's really hard to accidentally shutdown a unix server.
