[Gllug] Is this funny

[Jackson, Harry]

Hi all

I was reading some posts and came across this on sourceforge

Hi, 

I erased a 60Gb company disk by typing: 
cp test.txt /dev/hdc 

The disk contained one ext2 partition. 
What to do..... 
(I have an excatly the same empty spare disk.) 

A solution will be rewarded..... 

Is this a complete wipe and if so could someone tell me why. It did make me
laugh though. I was also wondering if I had the following script
#######################
#! /bin/bash
echo $1

history | grep $1
#######################

How can I get the output to appear on the console it was called from. I know
its simple but I know not what or how.

Regards;
Harry Jackson.
