I just wanted to know if I could delete it completely from a
remote terminal (using telnet)?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm at a disaster and recovery site and would like to know what is the
quickest way to delete the entire system before I leave.

is the command ---> rm -R , from the root directory sufficient?

how do I place this in a cron job to delete tonight at 11PM.

thanks
joe
