1 definition found From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]: provocative maintenance n. [common ironic mutation of preventive maintenance] Actions performed upon a machine at regularly scheduled intervals to ensure that the system remains in a usable state. So called because it is all too often performed by a { field servoid} who doesn't know what he is doing; such ?maintenance? often induces problems, or otherwise results in the machine's remaining in an un usable state for an indeterminate amount of time. See also {scratch monkey }.
