I still poked around the system. AiS had multiple schools using the system at similar times. There were quite a few schools involved in AiS. As I was poking around, I found a command called `wall`, which allowed me to send a message to all logged in users. I created a smiley face, with the expected phrase "Don't Worry. Be Happy." as it's message, and sent it to all logged in users. This caused no physical damage to code, or projects, but it was very disruptive. Since the class was centered around programming, the command overwrote the screen with the smiley face and caused quite a few students to freak out, even though there was no damage done to the files they were working on. I was taken aside and reprimanded for usage of the command during the time that I used it, but nothing more happened to me.
