UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Basically do you have any suggestions on how to advise syadmins to be more careful in accessing servers so that they would know at an instance that the server they logging in is production or not(perhaps naming convention etc, color terminal?

We have recent incident of wrong restoration to a prodction one. Pls advise

Some of ideas come to mind.
1. Change the prompt to somehow remind them it's production (like making the hostname bold/red/reverse) How to make custom prompts

2. There could also be a molly-guard for restoring, or copying, etc. So a wrapper script for the worried commands. Say your backup software uses the command "recover", put a script in a directory earlier in the path that will look similar to (meaning I haven't tested this):

Code:

is-production=`hostname|egrep production1|production2|production3`
if [ $is-producation ]
     echo "this is production, what were you thinking?"
else
     $@
fi;
