mv /etc/nginx/nginx.conf /tmp/

linux · bash · Beginner

Moves the web server's configuration into a temporary directory. mv sounds reversible, but /tmp is cleared on boot, so the file is on a countdown to being gone for good.

Signals to notice

  • the service loses its configuration at the next restart
  • /tmp is cleared on reboot, so the 'backup' does not survive

Think you can spot these under time pressure?
