The following command has been entered:
sleep 12h; nuke-russia
It was entered on one of the Debian's tty
s. I would like to cancel the sleep without nuking anything. I don't want the nuke command to run for even for a single moment. I have the other five terminals available. What can I do?

In future, try using
&&
instead of;
sleep X && echo bla
pressing ctrl + C will stop sleep and will not echo blaIf it's feasible, you could rename the responsible binary . That way bash will not be able to execute
nuke-russia
since it will not exist.Other solution would be to kill the responsible shell
EDIT:
How to find PID of responsible shell (which should its parent)
If pid of
sleep 12h
is 1234find responsible shell with
ps -o ppid= 1234
Then kill it with kill -9
