An interesting thing happened to me today.
I was on an HP9000 345 unix workstation using HP-UX 7.03 and the version of X11
that came with it.

Ok, onto what happened, I was in an xterm and managed to get up a neat
menu by holding down the CTRL key and pressing the mouse button in the xterm
window.

The menu had one option which was Interupt.  Just out of curiosity I selected
it. 
WampF!! My X-windows dissapeared and the machine went down to init level 0.
Ouch, Somehow we had managed to delete this run level from our inittab...
So I had to go find another machine, login using telnet, su to root, and
bring the machine back to our normal init level.
Needless to say init level zero is now in our /etc/inittab.
Just thought it was an interesting occurance that you all might be interested 
in.
(and yes this is a very repeatable thing (error/bug?))
